How to Be a Berean | Jackie Hill Perry | Acts 242

In this transformative session from the Acts 242 Conference, Jackie Hill Perry delivers a powerful message on the importance of engaging with Scripture authentically. Drawing from Acts 17, Jackie challenges believers to be like the Bereans, who received the Word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily.

Wow. Weeks on one sentence! I really was so frustrated watching your videos thinking why don’t i understand like she does. Then i heard the Holy Spirit tell me to keep reading the same scriptures over and over. Stop thinking i need to read something new every day. God is so good

"6 weeks on one sentence but expect to see a burning bush in 15 min". Lord I needed this 🙏🏽

We don't read the bible to know stuff, we read the bible to know A PERSON! 🙌

23:38 "Conviction is not just an internal response to self-awareness; it is that the word is showing you the you God has always seen."

30:16

I was stuck on 2 verses for weeks. Once you get the Hebrew definitions it sends you down a rabbit hole.

A beautiful rabbit hole. John 15 is very meaty and takes time to pick apart. The bible is absolutely brilliant.

God is absolutely brilliant.

She’s right about listening to too many voices on YouTube. Six years ago, I was obsessively listening to numerous preachers teachers sermons on a daily basis. And I got so confused that I was convinced I wasn’t saved.
It messed with my head so bad I fell into so many bad doctrines. I got into the whole demonslayer teaching. when I finally got out of that I fell into legalism and trying to earn back my salvation, and trying to earn God‘s love.

This year, by the grace of God He is helping me get in His word and helping me to get back to the basics. I now know that I am truly saved and have been for the last 26 years. All the glory of God. 🙌

Eternal life doesn't start when you die it starts when you believe.🙌🏾

Jackie, I clicked on this video to listen and immediately paused it and said to myself ‘I’m going to go read my Bible before I listen to this woman talk about the bible’! It was like the Holy Spirit was letting me know what you were about to preach on.

I watched Jackie's video about this sermon and then this video came on right after. I was immediately reminded of when Jackie told Preston and Priscilla Shirer that she wishes she didn't need her notes to preach. Look at God! Maybe you weren't "prepared" because you were trying to prepare your old way. Maybe God's doing what you asked! What a good God.

So happy I get to watch these videos since I was unable to make it. So thankful!!!

[MariaBeatrizAlvarado]

Thank God i always tune on this channel because its my greatest motivation that never made me give up on my financial struggles

[sofinaadams]

This was a needed reminder to ensure I’m getting the word of GOD primary!!

[Corts_World]

I definitely went through that phase of watching church on YouTube and listening to motivational speakers disguised as preachers. I just rejoined a local church after 6 years. It feels amazing to fellowship in person with other believers in Jesus Christ.

God I thank you for Your Holy Spirit, for Jackie, & for bringing me to this! 🙌🏾 Now, I have heard...Let me do! In Jesus name, Amen.

Thank Acts 242 for allowing us to see the conference. Thank you sharing the gospel we all need this.

[chrissyp]

Listening at work, this conference is a blessing. Thank God I am able to watch on YouTube!

[sac]

I wasn’t able to attend the conference. Thank God for placing in their hearts to share. This has been such a blessing. 🔥 ❤

[bulelwamabija]

This is such a blessing to me and many others across the globe who were unable to attend the conference. This is the powerful word of God, no frills, no gimmicks, just sound teaching and the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you all for making this possible, sending love from South Africa.❤‍🔥

40 secs in, God already spoke directly to my heart. I have never felt more unprepared to do what God has called me to do and have questioned it so much lately. God is good, He not only calls, but He also prepares and making us humbled and teachable is part of that. Glory to GOD!

[MsTaylorRenee]

I thought my year was the year of consistency, but God had a different plan. My year this year has been accountability… and it stung. I have never been closer in my life to God and I am forever grateful that I invited him into my life.
