3. Now when they had passed through Amphipolis
and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica,
where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And
Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three
Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the
Scriptures,
Acts 17:1-2 (ESV)

4. Paul’s Sermon:
1. He reviews God's dealings with Israel - 17-22
2. Jesus is the promised Savior - 23-26
3. He reviews Jesus' death, and evidence for His
resurrection - 27-37
4. Forgiveness is now offered them through
Jesus - 38-39
5. Do NOT fulfill prophecy by rejecting God's
work in Christ - 40-41

5. How Did People Respond?
That Sabbath:
– Many begged for more on the next Sabbath
– Many Jews followed Paul & Barnabas
Next Sabbath:
– Almost the whole city turned out
– Jews were envious
– Gentiles were glad & rejoiced

6. RESULT:
• The Word was spread!
• Paul & Barnabas persecuted and thrown out.
• They shook the dust off their feet and traveled
on their way REJOICING!
