Rough Beginnings Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 11, 2023

In this sermon, we consider the back story of the letters to the Thessalonians - the founding of the church. It's tumultuous beginning helps us to understand a bit of the environment into which the new church was planted and some of the ongoing struggles they faces.

Pre-quals Every story has a back story. We may not always gain insight into the back story, but there are things impact characters and cultures.

The Thessalonians # 2 (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

In a previous message we learned how Paul brought the gospel message to the Thessalonians.

For three Sabbath days he preached nothing to them but that Christ • Came. • Suffered. • Died. • Rose from the dead. • Was the Son of God. We find that churches are not spiritually strong that are built on a music program, as important as that may be, nor on a youth program, as important as that ...read more

The Thessalonians # 1 (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more

In Christ And All Of Christ - 1thessalonians 1:1-10 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 23, 2022

The Thessalonian church was a shining example of believers in ministry and gospel outreach. They had all the fruits of the Holy Spirit as we see in the verses of Chapter 1. They radiated faith, hope, love, and steadfastness. They waited patiently for the Rapture.
