Deuteronomy 5

Israel encountered God "face to face" at the foot of a mountain. In hearing God speak audibly, Israel was confronted with the power of God and the fragility of their flesh. Deuteronomy 5 shows us that without God's provision for a mediator, we cannot sustain an intimate relationship with Him.

In Acts 17 Paul is whisked away from Berea to Athens where he waits for the rest of his friends to join him. Here Paul has a chance to see one of the most wondrous cities in the world - a cultural, religious and academic epicenter.

Acts 17:10-12

In our story, Paul and the missions team journey to Berea, a town just west of Thessalonica. Here they meet a group of Bereans who listen to their gospel message but rather than accepting it outright, take the time to study God’s word to discern whether or not the message was true. The Berean’s are an example to us of how to become discerning in a world of mis-information and lies.
