Key Verse:
1 Thessalonians 1:8
The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it…
Reflection:
Living the way that Jesus taught us to live—in a family of believers—is countercultural. This was true for the church in Thessalonica, and it’s true for us today. The world may look at us and see that there’s something different about the way that we live. It’s because we are not living with our own interest in mind, but with our focus on God’s kingdom. This kind of faithfulness is bound to turn heads.
Response:
The reputation of the church in Thessalonica spread throughout the entire region. What example do you want to set for your community?
In what ways are you spreading the word about your faith?
Prayerfully consider the example that you are setting for those around you and how that may be in or out of alignment with what you would like for it to be.
