Episode 138 Acts 17:1-9 and 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 Paul in Thessalonica

 

This Week BibleWorm reads from Acts 17 and 1 Thessalonians 1, where we get to see Paul in action as an evangelist and pen-pal pastor. We consider how our communities might respond if a new guy began attending services and arguing that we had misinterpreted our own texts. We appreciate Paul’s ability to see God moving and working beyond the boundaries of the community he grew up in. We sit with the importance of leading with encouragement, taking every opportunity to remind our community members how precious and brave they are. And, in celebration of Thessaloniki, Amy tells just a little bit of Little Red Riding Hood in Greek.
