Acts 17:1-10

As I (Preston) prayed about where our attention should be focused after Proverbs, I felt drawn to Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians. This church faced great hardships from its beginning, but - like a cactus thrives despite being in a hostile environment - the Thessalonian church thrived despite the hardships. We must be able to do the same thing, for we live in tumultuous times. We will begin by looking this week in Acts 17 at the church’s chaotic beginning, and we will see the foundation Paul laid and the challenges they faced.
