Acts 17: The Bereans

Some people argue and ignore the gospel, and even react violently to it.
Other accept it.
The people from the city of Berea are a model for us all.
When we hear teaching in church or some other Christian we should just not openly accept it we should instead check with the word of God to make sure that what we have heard is true.
The Bible is our foundation and it tells us everything we need to know about God and living the Christian life.
The Bereans according to verse 11 because "they received the word with all eagerness examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so."
They did not take Paul word for it, but they listened to what he had to say intently and checked with the word of God to make sure he was right.
I tell you this, any Pastor or preacher would be very happy to hear that this is what you are doing with their sermons, and you would also be blessed by doing it, because it would put you into deeper study of the Bible.
