Picture of a Healthy Church - Part 3

---

Text: I Thessalonians 1:2-3

---

In part 3 of the series "Marks of a Healthy Church" we see that not only did the Christians leave their mark but they also fished for men.

Four areas to be a fisher of men:

1) They had a balance of life.

2) They were committed to being heard (vs.8). The message was blasted out as a trumpet.
3) They trumpeted forth the word of the Lord. They turned to the to the sovereign from idols.(see also John 7:40-52 and 8:12-26)
4) They were making a difference. They were known everywhere.

To point the way to truth we should:

1) Honesty - Tell the truth.
2) Urgency - We don't know when the Lord may return.
3) Pray.

Are you truly committed to fishing for men today?
