Every Christian is a minister of the Lord Jesus. In our homes, neighborhoods, churches, and on our jobs, we serve the Lord Jesus and His gospel. In fulfilling this high calling, what are the qualities in our ministries that honor God? In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, chapter two, he gives us the marks of such a ministry.
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

1 Thessalonians
1 THESSALONIANS 2:8-9 – So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us. THEME OF THE DAY. THE BEST GIFT WE GIVE OTHERS. We are fast-approaching the season of giving. Even in this very strange year, Christmas is on…
This Lord’s Day, we continue in the New Testament book of 1 Thessalonians looking at the ministry God honors. In chapter two, the Apostle Paul defends his ministry against slanders and critics but not for his sake, but for Christ, His Gospel, and the spiritual health of the young Thessalonian believers. Here we find a model of our own ministries and how to properly defend it against those who would seek to discredit and damage its Gospel effectiveness.
This Lord’s Day, we continue looking at the Thessalonian believers and the evidence of lives changed by the Gospel. In this look, the evidence the gospel is changing us will be in our spreading the gospel with words and affirming the gospel by our living.
This Lord’s Day, we look at the Thessalonians and see the evidence of lives changed by the Gospel. What we will encounter serves us well to evaluate our lives to see how the Gospel has changed and is changing our lives.
