ACTS CHAPTER 17
MAIN THINGS
In Thessalonica we see a good picture of how far jealousy can drive something, but how much further the mob can push an issue. A crowd speaks in the moment more loudly than any amount of truth. The Bereans represent the way it should be with all of us. If we are people of good character we will search out truth and make our calling and election sure. The mob, hated Paul and his teaching, even enough to travel to
QUESTIONS & THOUGHTS
-Put yourself in Jason’s shoes, how would you feel? How would you respond to God?
-How do you respond to new teaching? Do you put it on the shelf and deal with it later or do you research it like the Bereans until you have an answer?
-Do you still see jealousy in our churches today? What is its cause and what is the result of it in our churches today?
-I love Paul’s view of God here. He is not far off, but He created in such a way that men would seek after Him. What else do you learn about God and Jesus in this passage?
-What are the natural human responses to new teaching or new ideas?

Hey Daneil,
Thanks for all the awesome work that you have been doing on Acts. Now that school is getting started this morning I will be able to have some time each day scheduled for this. New teaching is always difficult because it goes against the things we are use to and the things that we want to believe. I try to be as open to new things as possible but at the same time it is also important to keep your guard up and not listen to fools at it says in Proverbs over and over again. Thanks for all your work Daniel, hopefully we will have some more members in the near future.
