Text: I Thessalonians 1:2-3; 9-10 In part 4 of the series "Marks of a Healthy Church" we see that the early Christians were living in hope. Today people put their hope in the almighty dollar not the Lord Almighty. Hope is built on: 1) Jesus Christ is alive 1 Cor.15:12-19 2) Jesus is coming again. Does the church today live expecting the return of Christ? He has rescued us from Hell and from the tribulation: 1) I Thessalonians 5:1-10 "God did not appoint us for wrath" 2) It is this hope that motivates us. It is the reason we should fish for men Production Note: There is a 13 second dropout near the beginning of the audio; please excuse this technical difficulty. |
