Paul and Silas Are Sent to Berea

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

11 The Bereans were very glad to receive Paul's message. They studied the Scriptures carefully every day. They wanted to see if what Paul said was true. So they were more noble than the Thessalonians.

12 Many of the Jews believed. A number of important Greek women also became believers. And so did many Greek men.

13 The Jews in Thessalonica found out that Paul was preaching God's word in Berea. So they went there too. They stirred up the crowds and got them all worked up.

14 Right away the believers sent Paul to the coast. But Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.

15 The men who went with Paul took him to Athens. Then they returned with orders that Silas and Timothy were supposed to join him as soon as they could.

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.
