Acts Chapter 17 - When People You Know Are Searching for the God Who Is Near

Send us Fan MailToday we are studying Acts Chapter 17. In this chapter, Paul continues his missionary journey through Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. He reasons from the Scriptures, explaining that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead, and many believe. In Berea, the people receive the message eagerly and examine the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul said is true. Later, in Athens, Paul speaks to people surrounded by idols and points them to the one true God who made the world and gives life to all. Acts 17:27 says, “He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.” This chapter reminds us that God’s truth can be examined, His gospel must be proclaimed, and He is near to those who seek Him. Support the showWe’re so grateful you chose to spend this time with us in God’s Word today.
