Acts 17:18-34 // Paul’s Areopagus Address

Paul finds himself on the Acropolis of Athens before the Areopagus - the city’s rulers and leading philosophers, who ask him to share the message he has been preaching in the agora (the city’s marketplace).

Acts 17:10-17 // The Berean Benchmark

After being forced to flee Thessalonica due to persecution, Paul moves on to Berea, where he encounters a synagogue of “noble” men and women who receive the Gospel “with eagerness”.

Acts 17:2-9 // The Necessarily Offensive Gospel

Once again, Paul’s powerful Gospel preaching evokes strong reactions both positively and negatively, bringing new souls into the Kingdom and stirring up a mob that seeks to drive him and Silas out of Thessalonica with the charge that they are “turning the world upside down.”

Acts 17:2-4 // Evangelism in Thessalonica

When Paul and Silas left Philippi, they made their way to Thessalonica. And they didn’t waste any time before they began sharing the Gospel with the people there! As we look back at how Paul evangelized in that city, we can gain some practical insights that will help us share the good news of Jesus wherever He has placed us today.

Acts 16:35-17:1 // Ministering in Faith

In this Bible study, we’ll see the aftermath of Paul and Silas’ run-in with the city magistrates in Philippi, how they handled brutal persecution, and how the Philippian church grew in grace and sanctification by supporting Paul’s ministry.

Acts 16:19-34 // Persecuted Because of Jesus

While Paul, Silas, Timothy, and Luke were sharing the gospel in Philippi, Paul cast an evil spirit out of a slave girl. Their reward for working such a powerful miracle in the name of Jesus? Intense persecution. In this message, we’ll look at what happened in Philippi and learn how persecution is inseparable from the Christian faith. 

Acts 16:6-18 // The Women of Philippi

Paul and his team take the Gospel into Europe for the first time starting with the city of Philippi, where they encounter two very different women - one a picture a freedom, the other a picture of slavery.

Acts 15:36-16:5 // Divided for the Greater Good

Paul and Barnabas have a heated disagreement, part ways, and head out on new journeys to visit the churches they had planted previously and preach the Gospel.
