Acts 17:10-15

Listen to Acts 17:10-15

In Berea

10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.

11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up.

14 The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea.

15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.

How to Witness Part 3b

Jeff Johnson

So there you are sitting in the pew listening to a message and something that’s said doesn’t really sit well with you. What do you do? Pastor Jeff Johnson encourages us to open the Word, search the Scriptures and put it to the test. That’s really what the Bereans did as we’ll see. And because of the Word they were strong and overcomers. We can be too, as we’re students of the Word, receiving the Sound Doctrine it contains!

How to Witness Part 3a

Jeff Johnson

Pastor Jeff Johnson will be along shortly, picking up today where we left off in Acts chapter seventeen. The topic of late has been witnessing. We're not only learning how to go about it, but the reaction we can expect from folks. Today we’ll see how being a student of the Scriptures comes in handy not only in our witnessing, but protecting us from false doctrine too.
