"Knowing God... Making God Known"
 

Text: I Thessalonians 1:2-3

As we continue looking at the marks of a healthy church we see in vs. 2 the term "labor of love".  This labor of love by the church at Thessalonica was expressed toward other believers (verse 6).

In verse 7 we see the word "example" - This word means to leave a visible impression.  Who has left a mark on you? See also i Timothy 4:12- for the example of Timothy and how he was to be an example.

Seven areas to be an example:
1) Mindset of serving.
2) Mindset of encouragement.
3) A devotion to one another.
4) The forgiving of one another (Ephesians 4:32).
5) To be committed to one another.
6) To admonish one another. (Galatians 6)
7) We comfort one another through trials and tribulations. (2 Cor 1:3-7)
