Problems for Paul PAUL’S EXPERIENCE AT THESSALONICA   Paul preached in the synagogue on the Sabbath, as was his custom, when he first arrived in the city of Thessalonica.

A Time of Refreshing Cut Short PAUL’S EXPERIENCE IN BEREA Paul came to the little countryside town of Berea after leaving the big city of Thessalonica.
