    Today we want to look at what made Paul and his team successful as they traveled around sharing the good news about Jesus. Several dynamics emerge from these verses in 1 Thess. 2 that will help us become more effective in sharing God’s grace with others.

    Dynamics of God’s Good News 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Intro: Have you ever felt like a failure in something you were trying to accomplish or be successful at?

    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.

    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.

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.
