Being an example

There are a lot of very applicable ideas in 1 Thessalonians 1:6-10, but I only picked on a few. Paul discusses the example the Thessalonians set, and how they were looking forward to Christ returning. Good things for a young church, and good things for us to think of as well!

A New Sermon Series

We're going to be working through 1 Thessalonians, and today we covered the first 5 verses. I like the letters to the Thessalonians because there are very good practical truths in there that are applicable for any church. However, it's neat to look at the letter from the perspective of realizing just how young that church was, and how God sustained them and caused them to grow.

Sermon, Oct 18

Today was a bit of a conglomeration of things, so hopefully anyone listening to this can still make sense of it all. We started with some promos for Operation Christmas Child, which is the project from Samaritan's Purse that distributes shoebox presents to kids around the world.

Then, we discussed our missionaries here at the church and jsut went over how our missions giving works at the church.

Finally, we talked about Village Missions, and encouraged everyone to be praying for the mission right now as it grows and changes.

Wrapping up James

This was the fina; sermon in our study of James, and I hope it took care of more questions than it brought up. James wants us to understand how important following Christ really is, and that it's not just a walk in the park. However, it is worthwhile, worth seeking out the truth, and I hope you've seen that as we've gone through this letter.
