- Read Acts 17: 10-15
Because of the uproar in Thessalonica, Paul and Silas leave in the night. They wind up in Berea. Predictably, they head to the synagogue, “as was their custom”. They preach, they see people believe, and they teach.
- What makes the Bereans ‘of more noble character’ than those from Thessalonica?
- What are the ways that you connect specifically with the scriptures? What are some other creative ways that you could be added in? (The Bereans are described as being eager and studious!)
Again Paul, alone this time, has to leave because of the civil disruptions. Angry people from Thessalonica travel to bring more trouble to Paul and the believers. Surely Satan does not want the good news continuing to travel.
- Where do you see Satan at work around you bringing division, accusations, and uproar?
