Text: Thessalonians 1 How is the church in the 21st Century different from the 1st Century church? Listen as Pastor Thad Blount first has a question and discussion session with the Springville Road congregation before teaching on the example of of the Church at Thessalonica. What are the keys to a healthy church? The first thing we see is that they put their faith into practice. (vs. 3) * Their work of faith is explained (vs. 9) Serve - one who is bound to another. * Their service was motivated by worship (vs. 4-5) (See also Mark 10:35-)* A life of continual service - no retirement. * A life of complete service - open to whatever God wants you to do. * A life of whole-hearted service - not half way. |
