    The premise of our subject today comes from 1 Thessalonians 1:6 were Paul commends the church in Thessalonica for being imitators of Jesus. They are such great role models for other Christians and churches to follow that their devotion and mirror image of

    Almost every writer of the epistle in the NT begin their letter with two beautiful words - Grace and Peace. Grace is the delight or the favor or the benefit one receives from God and Peace is the harmony or the tranquility. You must receive the grace of G

    As I look at the first verse, I am reminded of the discussion in one part of Shakespeare’s play, Romeo & Juliet. Juliet is lamenting the fact that Romeo has the long last name, because his family has been in feud with her family for generations. And she says: “What's in a name? That ...read more

    As we look at qualities in the Thessalonian church and in the lives of Paul and his companions, we can see what it looks like when people are spiritually alive. I’d like to look at chapter 1 in this light. We can identify several vital signs that should b

    The Enemy Hates Hupomone

    The one thing Satan does not want is a Christian who is willing to stand on the Word of God regardless of the cost.

    The message this morning is “The enemy hates Hupomone.” Well, Bro. Barry, what is Hupomone? Hupomone is what we see in the life of Jesus. Hupomone is what we see in the life of the Apostle Paul. Hupomone is what we see in all those who say they are disciples of Jesus. In the Bible, Hupomone is ...read more

    Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)

    Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more

    More than any other time I wonder what we are known for? Those New Testament Christians were known for their resilience and unending mission to spread the gospel. But in the here and now - when the pressure of life is immense - what are we known for?

    WHAT ARE WE KNOWN FOR? 1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-10 Introduction The book of Acts serves as a history of the spreading flame of the gospel throughout the Roman empire and beyond. Thousands are baptized in Acts 2. Later we see the astounding conversion of the terrorist Saul of Tarsus. Persecution ...read more

    Part 3 of the series - The Church of the New Testament. This part addresses the question, "What is the Church." There are many conceptual variations on what the church is and what its principal purpose is. But what did Jesus intend to build?

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

    You have only one chance to preach a sermon. What text would you use?

    Many years ago, I remember reading a book called “If I had only one sermon to preach”. The photos of the ministers on the front cover or dust jacket made me think twice about reading it, though, because these men had some of the most sour expressions I’ve ever seen! It reminded me of a bit of ...read more
