How should we respond to the Gospel?

How should we respond to the Gospel?

In response to Jesus’ extravagant goodness to us, how can we live lives that delight Him? It’s all about keeping in step with the Spirit. Of course, life’s pressures and hardships can make this quite the challenge! It turns out that’s exactly what the Apostle Paul feared for the first believers in the city of Thessalonica. He’d had to leave them abruptly due to intense persecution – now, would their hardships scorch their fledgling faith or drive them more deeply to their newfound Savior? Listen in as Paul celebrates the Thessalonians’ work produced by faith, labor prompted by love, and endurance inspired by hope in Jesus, and discover what this teaches us about Keeping in Step with the Spirit still today.

Next Week's Sermon

“Next week we will be looking at 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 and answering the question "Who is on my team?" The church in Thessalonica has been wrestling with standing firm despite difficult times and hardships that have come their way......sound familiar? We are going to spend our time looking at how Paul encourages them that they are deeply loved and not alone in their struggle and it is through this encouragement they can press on despite the backlash they may receive. “
