    based on 91 ratings
     | 13,447 views

    This sermon started when I was in Preaching Class, and it evolved into this. I preached this sermon my first Sunday at my church.

    What Does It Take To Be A Church? Series

    some churches are closer to the NT ideal than others. The church at Thessalonica was in that category.

    TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 TITLE: WHAT EVERY CHURCH SHOULD BE No doubt you have heard people say, “If you ever find the perfect church, please don’t join it. If you do, it won’t be perfect any more!” Since local churches are made up of human beings, saved by God’s grace, no church is perfect. ...read more
