Berea
Where the Bereans examined the Scriptures daily to verify Paul's teaching
MacedoniaAbout This Place
A city in Macedonia (modern Veria, Greece) where Paul and Silas preached after being driven out of Thessalonica. The Bereans were praised as 'more noble' because they didn't just take Paul's word for it — they searched the Scriptures daily to see if what he said was true (Acts 17:10-14).

The Kid Who Fell Out the Window and Paul's Final Goodbye
Paul goes on a farewell tour, some kid falls asleep during his sermon and literally falls out a third-story window (he's fine), and then Paul drops one of the most emotional goodbye speeches in the entire Bible. Tissues required.
