In this sermon, Paul is praying and thanking God for the Thessalonians’ “work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Th. 1:3).

In this sermon, we begin our exposition of 1 Thessalonians. We are introduced to Paul’s missionary team and his pattern of ministry. We are called to win souls, make disciples, then equip and send proven leaders to do the same!

In this sermon, we examine the historical context of the book of 1 Thessalonians. After departing from Philippi, Paul and his missionary team arrive in Thessalonica, preaching the gospel in synagogue and making disciples. When the Jews of the city stir up persecution, Paul must flee to Berea. He writes this letter to the new church of the Thessalonians that he left behind.
