Acts 17: 1 - 18: 18 (26th November) - Madeline

Highlights and thoughts...

See Acts 17:11 - How do we evaluate sermons and teachings? Notice how the Bereans opened the Scriptures for themselves and searched for truths to verify or disprove the message they heard from Paul.

Always compare what you hear with what the Bible says. A preacher, teacher or pastor who gives God's true message will never contradict anything with what is found in the bible, God's Word.

Acts 18:2 - Bcos Paul was a tentmaker, he is able to go wherever God led him, carrying his livelihood with him. Being skillful and talented is truly an attribute to the life of a missionary. I believe all of us have different skill such that we can serve wherever we go... in schools and marketplace.

Acrs 18:10 - Sometimes, we cam feel discouraged and alone especially when we are persecuted in our faith. However, there are others in the neighbourhood who also follow Christ. Ask the Lord to show them to us...
