Today we drove from Thessaloniki to Berea (or Veria), beginning our day at the ancient synagogue mentioned in Acts 17.
To get there we parked and walked a great path by a rushing creek.
At the synagogue, we ended up meeting a larger group from an Assembly of God church in Pittsburgh — the third time we’ve crossed paths with them on this trip. It was encouraging to hear their speaker share, and Liam went straight to the speaker with some questions when he finished with the group.
From there we walked to the Bema of Paul, the spot where tradition says he preached to the Bereans. Ashton led us in a devotional about their spirit of discernment — how they listened eagerly but always went back to Scripture to test what they heard. A good reminder for all of us to study God’s Word with the same humility and hunger.
Today involved a lot of driving, but we made a refreshing stop by the Mediterranean Sea for an hour. As we continued our journey, we drove around the base of Mount Olympus before arriving in Trikala for the night.Read more
