Making Known The Unknown God (6 Of 7)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Acts 17.10-34
Now join me in Acts 17 as we continue under the general heading: The Church Alive! The second missionary trip of Paul and Silas took them to Berea where they found an openness to the gospel. Look if you will to verse 11, ''These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.''
We need to be more like the Bereans! Don't just take my word for it ... search the scriptures yourself! Don't just take the word of an evangelist .. search the scriptures yourself! Don't just take the word of some TV preacher ... search the scriptures yourself!
The Bereans ''searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.'' So .. Paul and Silas found an openness to the gospel at Berea. But they found something else. Not only an openness to the gospel .. but an opposition to the gospel!

Everywhere Paul went there was either a revival or a riot! Those hounds of hell walked 60 miles to Berea from Thessalonica to silence the preaching of the Word of God! It's amazing how far the Devil's crowd will go in order to silence the preaching the Word of God!!
Next we read in verse 14, ''Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. So those who conducted (to set down,) Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.'' Now beginning in verse 17 we find Paul alone in Athens waiting for Silas and Timothy to arrive. Now .. Paul wasn't in Athens as a sightseer .. but as a soul-winner! And what he did while in Athens is what we must be doing in ...
