1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

God’s word for God’s world

The Apostle Paul devoted immense time and energy to establishing and encouraging Christians in the churches that formed as a result of his missionary activity. His first letter to the Thessalonians provides a first-hand example of Paul’s follow-up teaching for new converts. Chapter one of the letter shows us the content of the message that he preached and its results. Here we have a perfect template for our message in a post-Christian world – does our gospel presentation match his?
