Sunday, March 1st 2026Following God One Step CloserOur mission at Berea is to Love Others One Step Closer to Jesus. God has challenged us as a family to do this in many different ways. But as we continue on our mission we must remember that we are all called to follow God wherever He may lead us. We are called to follow Jesus. Which means we are called to action. We are to use the lives He has given us to play an important role and reach out to the world around us. And we would love for you to join us!

This devotional, led by Michael Taliercio, a pastoral intern at Forest Hill Presbyterian Church, explores Acts Chapter 17. It details the travels of Paul and Silas through Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens, highlighting the diverse ways people responded to the gospel message.

1. God's Word proclaimed 2. God's Word received 3. God's Word opposed

In this message from Acts 17, we explore Paul's “missional masterclass” as he proclaims Jesus in Thessalonica and Berea, facing both revival and fierce opposition. This preach reminds us that every Christian is a missionary - whether called to go or to stay - sent by God to reach their city with the gospel. Through the example of the noble Bereans, we're challenged to value biblical truth over personality and hype, and through Paul's persecution, we're reminded that spiritual pushback is real when God's kingdom advances. Ultimately, the sermon points to Jesus - the greatest missionary of all - who came from heaven to earth, endured the cross, and rose again so we could have peace with God.

February 15, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we study 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9, exploring how the apostle Paul shifts from defending his ministry to instructing the church about generous giving. Neal situates these chapters in the broader context of the letter, contrasts the wealthy church at Corinth (Achaia) with the poor but generous Macedonian churches (Philippi, Berea, Thessalonica), and explains the urgent need: support for the impoverished saints in Jerusalem. Topics covered include: the relationship between grace and giving, examples of eager and sacrificial generosity from the Macedonians, the spiritual qualities reinforced by giving (faith, speech, knowledge, earnestness, and love), and the practical call to complete pledged gifts rather than leaving needs unmet. Paul's emphasis that giving should come from the heart — willingly, cheerfully, and sacrificially — is highlighted, along with his insistence on accountability in handling contributions. The episode uses practical illustrations from modern disaster relief and congregational stewardship to show how voluntary, faith-driven giving differs from forced redistribution. The speaker references related texts (Matthew 6; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 16; Titus 3) and points to the ministry roles of Titus and a well-known brother who accompanied Paul to ensure transparency and trust in the offering. Listeners are invited to examine their own hearts toward giving and to grow in the grace that produces generous, joyful stewardship.   Duration 44:26

The rise of Industry 4.0 has transformed manufacturing through the integration of cyber-physical systems, connectivity, and real-time data exchange into increasingly automated and intelligent platforms. While these advances improve productivity and efficiency, they also introduce vulnerabilities to cyber-physical attacks that can degrade product quality, damage equipment, and pose safety risks. Effective detection depends on understanding which data sources and levels of granularity provide sufficient visibility for accurate anomaly detection and attack identification. Replicated environments, such as digital twins (DTs), help address the challenges of collecting high-fidelity data and executing complex attack scenarios in live production systems.This talk presents an AI-assisted framework for detecting cyber-physical attacks in smart manufacturing using real machine experimentation complemented by DT–based replication. The framework evaluates multiple data sources, ranging from high-level operational data to low-level control and side-channel signals, to understand how data fidelity and context influence detection performance. A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) DT is used to replicate machine behavior, safely execute attacks, and enable controlled experimentation that would be impractical in live production environments.Through experiments on a real CNC machining system and its corresponding HIL-based DT, multiple cyber-physical attack scenarios are evaluated using statistical, machine learning, and deep learning-based detection methods. Results demonstrate that detection effectiveness is highly dependent on attack type and data granularity, highlighting the need for domain-aware, multi-source monitoring strategies. The framework is further extended to additive manufacturing, illustrating how insights derived from CNC systems can guide attack detection in related manufacturing domains.Overall, this work demonstrates how combining AI-based detection with real-world experimentation and DT technologies enables more robust and practical security analysis for cyber-physical manufacturing systems.

As Paul proclaims Christ in Thessalonica and Berea, we see two very different responses to the same Word. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts—whether we resist God's truth or receive it with readiness, humility, and faith.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. T. R.

Send us a textWe continue to lay the scriptural groundwork to learn if miracles exist today. We noted again that the Hebrew writer tells us that in the Old Testament, God spoke to the patriarchs through the prophets, but now speaks to us through Jesus. We noted in the last lesson that we don't receive God's Word in any other way today than by hearing, reading and studying the bible. We looked at the passages that teach us that in the last lesson and we mention those passages in this episode. We talk about the Christians in Berea who we are told that they searched the scriptures to make sure what the apostles were telling them was true. We discuss what Paul said about the gospel and what it consists of. In that discussion we note that there were a lot of witnesses that were with Jesus after He was resurrected including the apostles. Jesus told the apostles a number of things that would occur in Jerusalem. We note what is said about Pentecost and what happened on that occasion that relates to the subject of miracles. We point out in this episode that Jesus said He didn't teach the apostles everything they needed to know and He would send the Holy Spirit to teach them all truth. We note that John says that Jesus performed more miracles than what are recorded in the Bible. Those that are recorded are designed to prove who Jesus is. We will continue in the next episodes to look at the miracles performed by others in the New Testament and discuss the reason they were performed. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout provided for your convenience.

Over the course of several missionary journeys, the Apostle Paul walked countless miles of Roman roads, carrying the Gospel in his heart like an Olympian bearing a torch. The 2025 Greece/Rome Signature Tour followed those footsteps chronologically, tracing Paul's path through some of Scripture's most compelling cities and accounts. Join Rich Ferreira and Jerrell Jobe as they reflect on the journey, from its beginning in Kavala (Acts 16), through Philippi, Thessaloniki (Thessalonica), Berea, Athens, Corinth, and finally, Rome.Building on Philippi's history as a status-driven Roman city, Jerrell then unpacks Philippians 2 and explores what it truly meant for Christ to “become a servant.”Studying Scripture in this way brings the Bible to life—real people in real places in real time—causing the stories to leap off the page! The same Living Word Paul proclaimed in Macedonia is the Word that draws us there today.

In this episode of The Burros of Berea, I sat down with Brad Robertson, founder of Grace Reach, whose journey from traditional church life through burnout, hyper dispensationalism, and ultimately into fulfilled eschatology is as honest as it is compelling. Brad shares how a lifelong passion for Scripture was nearly buried beneath what he calls “toxic discipleship,” a system that emphasizes spiritual performance over the finished work of Christ. His rediscovery of the gospel of grace radically reshaped not only his theology, but his understanding of discipleship, covenant, and the character of God Himself. This conversation traces how grace, not effort, brought clarity, freedom, and renewal to his faith, and why so many believers have never truly heard the gospel even after years in church.What makes this episode especially powerful to me personally is how Brad connects fulfilled eschatology to real life application. Rather than treating Revelation as a battleground of charts and timelines, he shows how it proclaims the gospel from beginning to end. The New Heaven and New Earth are not distant abstractions, but the present reality of God dwelling with His people, the water of life flowing through the open gates to heal the nations. Brad's vision challenges both futurists and preterists to recover the heart of the message: freedom from law based religion, confidence in Christ's finished work, and a faith that transforms how we love God and others. This is not just a theological discussion. It is an invitation to rediscover joy, assurance, and purpose in Christ today!

In Acts 17:1-11, Paul reasons from the Scriptures in the Thessalonica synagogue over three Sabbaths, showing that Christ must suffer and rise again (referencing Isaiah 53:10), leading some Jews, Greeks, and women to believe. Envious unbelieving Jews stir up a mob against Jason and accuse the believers of proclaiming another king, Jesus. Paul and Silas flee to Berea, where the Bereans are called more noble for eagerly receiving the word and searching the Scriptures daily to verify the teachings.

Episode Synopsis:About the time Paul began his second missionary journey, a serious famine swept through Palestine–greatly impacting the Jerusalem church.  Those who lived in the region knew how serious such things could be and so they prepared for it–stockpiling grain, spices, and animal feed, etc.  But as soon as a church was organized in Jerusalem–after Pentecost–Jewish Christians found themselves cut off from the synagogue and its well-established relief system.  Now on their own, the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem were apparently suffering horribly and were in desperate need of relief–specifically funds to buy food and supplies locally.Tensions between Jewish Christians and recent Gentile converts to Christianity were apparent from the moment the gospel spread into Gentile regions–as indicated during the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15).  At that council, the church renounced the Judaizers and affirmed that God had blessed Paul's efforts to take the gospel into Gentile regions–which began in earnest after the Macedonian vision (Acts 16:9).  Paul planted churches in Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Corinth.  While these new churches aided and encouraged each other, Paul understood that if the Gentile churches–who had means–took an offering for the Jerusalem church, it would go a great way toward helping fellow Christians in genuine need.  It would also de-escalate the worry and anxiety that Jews felt toward Gentiles who were until quite recently godless pagans and often persecutors of the Jewish people.When Paul arrived in Macedonia, he tells us that there was some unspecified serious trouble and that he would strive to get things cleared up before he traveled south to Corinth.  Despite the troubles in the churches in Macedonia, they had taken up a surprisingly generous offering for the Jerusalem church–so much so that it was a major sacrifice, even beyond their means, which Paul describes as an act of grace.  Now he gets word from Titus that the Corinthians (who had been collecting a similar offering for a year) and had not followed through with their collection.  As a congregation they were far better off materially than the Macedonians, but were so distracted by divisions, the subterfuge of false apostles and other matters, the offering had not been finalized.  In chapters 8-9 of 2 Corinthians, Paul addresses this matter head-on.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/

The Browns fired head coach Kevin Stefanski, and the Orange and Brown Talk crew is here to break down all the fallout. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe react to the news from Berea, analyzing the decision to part ways with Stefanski while retaining GM Andrew Berry. They dive into the press conferences by owner Jimmy Haslam and Berry, reading between the lines to understand the real reasons behind the move. Was it simply about the eight wins over two years, or did the front office lose faith in Stefanski's offensive vision? They discuss how Berry's successful 2025 draft and recent trades likely saved his job, but now the pressure is on him more than ever. Looking ahead, the search for a new head coach is on. Will the Browns target an offensive-minded coach to pair with a new quarterback, or promote from within with someone like Jim Schwartz? Plus, what does this mean for the future of Shedeur Sanders? They debates whether Stefanski was dealt a fair hand and what needs to happen next for the Browns to finally turn the corner.

Daryl Ruiter joined Ken Carman and Anthony Lima on the Monday following the Browns' week 18 over the Bengals and shared his thoughts on Kevin Stefanski's tenure in Cleveland, whether or not he thinks Stefanski wants to continue coaching the Browns, and why he think Andrew Berry shouldn't be safe even though it appears he is. He discussed whether or not the front office structure in Berea will change and why he thinks Kevin Stefanski has been a scapegoat for the Browns' struggles.

For the final time this season, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe get you ready for a Browns game as they preview the Week 18 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. The game itself takes a backseat to the much bigger question looming over the franchise: Will Kevin Stefanski return as head coach next season? They try to read the tea leaves and discuss the vibe in Berea that suggests a change could be coming. They explore the different scenarios, including the possibility of promoting defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to head coach to maintain continuity on the team's best unit and keep rising offensive coordinator Tommy Rees. Is the grass actually greener, or should the Browns stick with what they have despite two losing seasons? Plus, they talk about the one thing that matters on the field: Myles Garrett's chase for the sack record against a familiar foe in Joe Burrow. Lance Reisland joined the show for his final scouting report of the season, breaking down the Bengals' offense and defense and how the Browns can attack them. Lance also makes his pick. To wrap it up, Mary Kay, Ashley and Dan make their final game picks of the season.

In this episode of The Burros of Berea, I sit down with Sarah Fisher, the mind and heart behind HebrewWordLessons.com, for one of the most thoughtful and refreshing conversations we have had in a long time. Sarah shares her personal faith journey, how a late-in-life awakening led her to the Hebrew language, and why studying Scripture through its original words transformed the way the Bible came alive for her. What began as a simple tool to help her learn vocabulary became a weekly ministry that pastors, teachers, and everyday Bible readers now rely on. Her humility, curiosity, and deep love for Jesus shine through every part of this discussion, and her insights into Hebrew words like hasatan, malak, ezer, and hesed challenge many assumptions we have carried for years.This conversation goes far beyond word studies. We talk honestly about balancing scholarship and faith, avoiding speculative theology without honoring historical context, and letting the Spirit guide our study instead of turning knowledge into a weapon. Sarah offers wisdom for anyone who feels intimidated by biblical languages, reminding us that not everyone is called to learn Hebrew, but everyone is called to approach Scripture with humility and love. If you care about understanding the Bible more deeply, respecting its ancient worldview, and growing closer to Christ without arrogance or fear, this episode is for you. It is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply encouraging, and I think it is one you will come back to more than once.If you'd like to check out Sarah's website you can click the link below!Hebrew Word Lessons Website: https://hebrewwordlessons.com/

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         I TRIMESTRE DEL 2026Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES 30 DE DICIEMBREPABLO EN FILIPOSDurante el segundo viaje misionero de Pablo, poco después de la incorporación de Timoteo al equipo, el Espíritu Santo les impidió continuar con su labor en Asia Menor (Hech. 16:6). Entonces, durante una visión nocturna, Pablo vio a un hombre que le suplicaba: “Pasa a Macedonia, y ayúdanos” (Hech. 16:9). Así que, inmediatamente se dirigieron al puerto marítimo más cercano para partir desde allí a Macedonia, y navegaron desde Troas a través del mar Egeo hasta Neápolis, en el continente europeo. Pero, en lugar de predicar allí, Pablo, Silas, y Timoteo y Lucas (quienes se unieron a ellos en Troas, como indica el uso del plural “vinimos” en Hech. 16:11), se dirigieron a Filipos. En su actividad evangelizadora, Pablo siempre pensó estratégicamente. Filipos era “la principal ciudad de la provincia de Macedonia” (Hech. 16:12). De hecho, era una de las más honradas del Imperio Romano, pues se le había concedido el estatus de Ius Italicum [derecho italiano], el título más honroso que se podía otorgar a una ciudad. Sus ciudadanos gozaban de los mismos privilegios que los de una ciudad situada en Italia, incluida la exención del impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles y del impuesto sobre la renta de capitación que pagaban los ciudadanos romanos poseedores de cierto capital. Además, cualquiera que naciera en la ciudad se convertía automáticamente en ciudadano romano. También era una parada importante en la Vía Ignacia, la principal ruta terrestre que conectaba Roma con Oriente. El establecimiento de una importante presencia cristiana allí permitió a la iglesia de Filipos llevar el evangelio a muchas otras ciudades cercanas, como Anfípolis, Apolonia, Tesalónica y Berea (ver Hech. 17:1, 10). Curiosamente, la lengua oficial en la Filipos del siglo I era el latín, como demuestra el predominio de inscripciones en dicha lengua. En Filipenses 4:15, Pablo incluso se dirige a ellos con una palabra que suena latina (filippēsioi), al parecer en reconocimiento de su especial condición romana. Sin embargo, el griego era la lengua del mercado y de los pueblos y las ciudades de los alrededores, así como el medio de difusión del evangelio. Lucas describe cómo Pablo y su equipo se reunieron para orar junto al río, donde Lidia y su familia se convirtieron (Hech. 16:13-15). Como mujer de negocios (vendía púrpura), es posible que haya sido uno de los principales apoyos financieros en Filipos para el ministerio de Pablo. El tiempo que Pablo y Silas pasaron allí en la cárcel condujo a la conversión de toda otra familia: la del carcelero. El Espíritu Santo sabía que Filipos sería el puesto de avanzada para la expansión del evangelio a través de Europa, aunque también habría persecución. Por muy mala que sea, la persecución puede, en determinadas circunstancias, permitir que el evangelio llegue a personas que de otro modo no podrían ser alcanzadas. Lee Hechos 9:16. ¿Cómo nos ayuda este texto a entender algunas de las pruebas de Pablo? ¿Cómo puede ayudarnos a entender algunas de las nuestras? 

Merry Christmas Burros of Berea listeners! This conversation with Nathan Ward is one of the most heartfelt and grounded testimonies ever shared on The Burros of Berea. What begins as a friendly introduction quickly unfolds into a deeply moving story centered on legacy, faith, and the quiet power of lived Christianity. Nathan's reflections on his grandmother Flora form the emotional backbone of the episode, illustrating how genuine love, sacrificial generosity, and faithfulness can shape generations long before theology ever becomes explicit. His story reminds us that the gospel is often transmitted not through arguments, but through consistent presence, hospitality, and courage in moments of real need. This is an interview filled with memory, grief, gratitude, and hope, told with sincerity rather than polish, which makes it resonate all the more deeply Nathan Ward Interview.As the conversation progresses, the episode naturally moves from testimony into theology, tracing Nathan's journey from inherited tradition through ministry, crisis, and ultimately into fulfilled eschatology. What makes this discussion compelling is its tone. Rather than triumphalism or bitterness, Nathan speaks with humility about being shaped by people who loved God even when their frameworks were incomplete. The dialogue models how theological growth does not have to come at the expense of love for the Church or gratitude for one's spiritual roots. Released on Christmas Day, the interview fittingly closes by reframing the season itself not as a debate over dates or traditions, but as a celebration of incarnation, presence, and giving. It is an episode that embodies the very message it proclaims: truth pursued through love, and faith expressed through lives well lived. I hope you enjoy this testimony as much as I did!If you'd like to see the video of this interview, pop on over to our Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/theburrosofbereaAnd as always, thanks for listening!

We'll be back with a full Orange and Brown Talk preview podcast this weekend. Until then, here's a quick update from Berea from our daily video. The Browns continued their preparations for the Steelers on Wednesday, but first it was a look back at Shedeur Sanders' performance against the Bills on Sunday. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start their daily recap video by discussing what offensive coordinator Tommy Rees had to say about the progress Sanders made on Sunday and if there's something to build on from that performance. Then they turn their attention to left guard Joel Bitonio's vote of confidence for head coach Kevin Stefanski and what he had to say about the Browns retaining Stefanski for a seventh year. They wrap up the video by updating some injuries, starting with the Browns and the return to practice for Denzel Ward and Dylan Sampson and T.J. Watt returning to Steelers practice.

Gary revisits one of his favorite topics: movies! Rick Welch invited Gary back to his Burros of Berea podcast to discuss Christmas films and the two discuss many festive movies that might be unfamiliar to most listeners. Gary loves older movies from the Golden Age of Film and highlights and analyzes some of his favorites.

Gary continues speaking with Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about several more films, including Die Hard, Home Alone, and The Three Godfathers. These older films are often dismissed as being "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics).

Gary is interviewed by Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about old Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about the two films discussed in this first part (Beyond Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life). These older films can often be dismissed as "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics).

In this Bible Story, we are able to read the letters written by Paul to the church in Thessalonica. Paul encourages them to continue in their pursuit of a quiet and peaceful life that honors God. This story is inspired by Acts 17. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Acts 17:23 from the King James Version.Episode 233: Paul, Silas, and Timothy were teaching at a synagogue in Thessalonica. Crowds from all over gathered there to hear what they had to say and many came to a saving faith in Jesus. Yet some of the Jews were angered by this change and hired a mob to find Paul and kill him. When the mob couldn’t find Paul they brought out Jason instead and had him beaten. Meanwhile, the rest of the believers encouraged Paul, Silas, and Timothy to flee to Berea. There was peace for Silas and Timothy there, but Paul moved on to Athens where he would reason with God-fearing Greeks and be brought before the Areopagus.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
