PASSAGE: In Thessalonica, In Berea, In Athens
MEMORY VERSE: "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else." Acts 17:24-25
NOTES: (v.1-9) Paul went to Thessalonica, where he preached the gospel and many joined Paul and Silas. But the Jews were jealous, and so they formed a mob and rushed to Jason's house, searching for Paul and Silas. When they couldn't find them, they dragged Jason out and made Jason post bond. (?)
-(v.10-15) Paul and Silas went to Berea, where they preached the gospel. When the Jews found out that Paul was preaching in Berea, they went there and stirred up a crowd against them. Paul went to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed.
-(v.16-34) Paul went to Athens and was distressed to see the city filled with idols (there was even an altar for an "unknown god"!). When he preached, they thought he was advocating foreign gods. But Paul told them of the gospel and how God is not like "gold or silver or stone--an image made by man's design and skill," and will one day judge the world with justice. At this, some sneered, but others became followers and beleived.
ACT OF LOVE: Today, my dad came back after quite a few months in China! I chatted with him for a bit, and updated him on my life. Also, I voluntarily cleaned up dog poopoo after dinner, haha.
