Living Outloud: Three simple parts of your Jesus story

Acts 17-18: Different responses to teaching
We read Acts 17 and 18 and watch the gospel collide with jealousy in Thessalonica, careful study in Berea, curiosity in Athens, and conflict in Corinth. We end by asking what kind of listener you are when God’s Word challenges you, especially w...
