Jesus Goes Global: Confronting the Power Base: Noble Bereans

In our day, Google has become the authoritative text to resolve arguments or debates. If you want to know who won the World Series in 1958 - look it up. Of course, Google is not inerrant and far too flimsy to assure us of vital matters. When Paul preached, he pointed to the Scriptures as the authoritative and reliable source of truth. Dr. John speaks today of the Bereans, who when they heard Paul, they then went to the Scriptures to verify the truth. God has not left us to guess, take a poll, or rely on the voice of another. The truth of Jesus is in the Scriptures and it can be trusted for eternity.Jesus Goes Global: Confronting the Power Base: Common sense suggests that a precious treasure should be carried by the most qualified means. Do not allow for weakness, failure, or incompetency in the process. But God has placed the treasure of the gospel into the hands of humans - who don’t always measure up. Dr. John teaches on the beginning of Paul's second missional journey and points to the tensions and challenges within every believer who carries the gospel message. And yet the gospel grows. Listen and consider the grace and power of God through frail vessels like us.
