Acts 17, 18
Overview: Paul, Silas and Timothy share missionary journey. Apollos arrives in Ephesus.
Paul and Silas are in Thessalonica. The Jewish leadership is unhappy with what the two are stirring up amongst the people. This leads to a great line - "These people who have been turning the world upside down have come here also." (17:16) What a great, succinct description of what happens when Jesus gets into the mix. Priorities get challenged, lives get transformed, change breaks out all over, the world gets turned upside down. How upside down has our faith made our life. What is it like living in the kingdom world of Jesus' priorities? How is it so very different - so different that it makes people say "they are turning the world upside down". Paul and Silas got noticed. Are we 2011 followers of Jesus getting noticed?
