In this episode of Knowing God in the Word, Rev. Dr. Nathan Johnson continues his verse-by-verse study through Acts 17, examining Paul's ministry among the Bereans and his encounter with the philosophers in Athens. Dr. Johnson highlights the Bereans' example of eagerly receiving the message of Christ while diligently searching the Scriptures each day to confirm the truth of what they heard.

The study then turns to Paul's address at the Areopagus, where he engages the Athenian philosophers with the Gospel in the midst of a culture shaped by competing ideas and religious beliefs. Through careful exposition of Scripture, Dr. Johnson explores the importance of biblical discernment, faithfully proclaiming God's truth, and thoughtfully engaging a skeptical world with the hope found in Jesus Christ.
