This Lord’s Day, we observe the three fundamental virtues in the Christian life – faith, love, and hope. These three, given to the believer upon salvation, are the keys to live a life of influential first love. We will observe them in the Thessalonian believers.

This Lord’s Day, we continue in our series “A Church of First Love” in the New Testament Book of 1 Thessalonians looking at verse one and the definition of the church to include its nature and its life.
1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-3 – Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

This Lord’s Day, we move into part 2 of our series “A Church of First Love” in the New Testament Book of 1 Thessalonians. Last week, we looked at the characteristics of a church membership living out first love for the Lord. We hope now to look at the qualities in the leadership of a first love church.
This Lord’s Day, we begin a series in the New Testament Book of 1 Thessalonians. In this church, we see a wonderful flock of Jesus’ sheep living out first love for Him and people under the good pastoral leadership of first love leaders. Lord willing, we will enter a church to model if we want to make our difference for Christ in our culture and generation.

But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more. THEME OF THE DAY. A WOW FACTOR…
