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. |
