About our
Berean name
Why we chose the name Berean
for our assembly. Berean is just a noun used
to describe a person from Berea or an
adjective to describe the character of the
place or people. The name Berea means well
watered so no great significance there. The
reason is the statement the scriptures make
of the Jews at Berea.
Acts 17:11 “These were more noble than those
in Thessalonica, in that they received the
word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether those
things were so.”
It is their, noble spirit and reliance on the
authority of Holy Scriptures to confront all
that is presented to them, this attracts us
to this name. It is our desire that God
would by this name remind us to ask, “What
does the Bible say?” in all things. After
all that is all that will matter in the end.
