    The apostle Paul compliments the believers at Thessalonica as model Christians and explains how it came about.

    TURN, SERVE AND WAIT If the Apostle Paul had made an award for the best church in Greece it could well have been to the church at Thessalonica. When the apostle Paul wrote his letters to the young churches he often began by sounding a note of thanksgiving for them. He knew his psychology. Even if ...read more

    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

A place of believers who want to live and serve and bring God glory and see lives transformed by the power of a risen Savior! The church was a model and example for ...read more

    How will it end? Can we know? Yes, we can. The Bible gives a very clear, direct answer. The world as know it will end with the return of Jesus Christ. The history of the will climax in His literal, bodily return to the earth.

    Introduction: Scripture is neither vague nor equivocal on the promise of Christ’s return. A large proportion (as much as one-fifth) of Scripture is prophetic, and perhaps a third or more of the prophetic passages refer to the Second Coming of Christ or events related to it. It is a major theme of ...read more

    Is the Gospel we preach, and the God we preach the same as Paul had preached to the Thessalonians in AD 49?

    The first epistle to the Thessalonian, of which we just heard the first chapter, is the earliest of Paul’s writings. We read in Acts chapter 17 of his visit to Thessalonica (modern-day Salonika) in the year 49; of how he preached in the synagogue for two Sabbaths, but was then driven from the city ...read more
