Key Highlights of the Footsteps of Paul Tour
Athens
In Athens, Apostle Paul boldly shared the message of Christ at the Areopagus (Mars Hill), a significant center of intellectual debate. Confronted with diverse philosophies, he addressed the Athenians on their “unknown God,” using their culture as a bridge to introduce the one true God. His message stirred mixed reactions but left a lasting impact, leading figures like Dionysius the Areopagite and Damaris to embrace the faith (Acts 17:16-34).
Philippi
In Philippi, Paul established one of the first Christian congregations in Europe during his second missionary journey. He encountered Lydia, a wealthy merchant, by the river, where he shared the gospel, leading her and her household to be baptized (Acts 16:11-15). However, Paul and Silas faced persecution after casting a spirit of divination out of a slave girl, leading to their imprisonment. While in jail, they sang hymns and prayed, resulting in a miraculous earthquake that opened the prison doors (Acts 16:16-26). The jailer, witnessing this, asked how to be saved, and Paul led him and his family to faith in Christ (Acts 16:27-34).
Corinth
In Corinth, Paul stayed for an extended period, working as a tentmaker alongside Aquila and Priscilla. He preached in the synagogue every Sabbath, eventually founding a strong Christian community despite opposition. Corinth became an important base for Paul’s ministry, and he later wrote letters (1 and 2 Corinthians) addressing their spiritual growth and challenges (Acts 18:1-18).
Thessaloniki
In Thessaloniki, Paul preached in the synagogue for several weeks, explaining that Jesus was the promised Messiah. While many believed, opposition from local leaders forced him to leave. The Christians in Thessaloniki continued to thrive, and Paul later wrote two letters (1 and 2 Thessalonians) to encourage them in their faith amid persecution (Acts 17:1-9).
