    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

    In this sereies on Thessalonians, we discover that the church in Thessalonica was an energetic church, an elect church, an evangelistic church, and expectant church. In other words, they were a mighty church!

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

    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)
