Acts17.10 As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. > Again  - this is the first thing they did. They also just moved on. Preached the gospel. Going to the next town: Preaching the Gospel ...
11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. > When does the bible say: more noble character? :
-Receiving the message with great eagerness
-examine the Scripture every day to see if what Paul said was true.
12 Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. > They started to believe!
13 When the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, they went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. > The jews followed Paul to destroy his work.
14 The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. > Just Paul left. Silas and Timothy stayed. How was is for them to face angry Jews? Paul was special : It was clear, that he is a driving force!
15 The men who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible. > Paul went to Athens and waited their for Silas and Timothy.
What will Paul do in Athens? He is alone!
<>Am i eager to receive the message?<>
<>examining the scripture - is this something i do?<>
<>Am i a driving force for the gospel?<>
<>is the Gospel alive in me - so it is driving out of me?<>
