Paul moves from PHILIPPI to THESSALONICA - BEREA - ATHENS
ACTS 17:11 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.
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.
ACTS 17:16
PAUL INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE AREOPAGUS(Greek Name) or MARS HILL(Roman Name)
ROMANS 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
LETS LOOK AT HOW PAUL TELLS THE GOOD NEWS TO NON BELIEVERS verse 22- 31 Does he get angry Does he point out all their errors WHAT DOES PAUL DO?
ACTS 17:22-34 Paul knows that they don’t believe in the LORD GOD But he doesn’t get angry and confrontational Instead he very cleverly and calmly tells them THAT THE UNKNOWN GOD is actually a VERY KNOWN GOD God is the CREATOR - He made everything. God is the RULER - He decides where people live and for how long God is the SUSTAINER - He gives life. He doesn’t need us - We need Him God is our FATHER - we are His children God is the JUDGE - He wants people to repent
