A promise we don’t often claim is that those who seek to live godly lives will suffer persecution. This was true of the Thessalonian Christians, and yet they stood firm in persecution for the gospel’s sake. But that raises the question, why does the gospel arouse such opposition? As we will hear on today’s broadcast, the gospel ignores all human achievement.

We’ll be continuing our series through Colossians here today on the broadcast, as we begin our final study in chapter one. You’ve no doubt been asked to do something that was a stretching experience for you, that called you to go out of your comfort zone. Perhaps it was giving a speech in class, or doing something else that you really didn’t want to do. Well, sometimes our call to ministry will lead us beyond our comfort zone too, and that’s a good thing as we’ll soon see.

Everyone comes into the world as a baby but we mature - some faster than others!. The same is true spiritually. And too many in the Church have not matured. As we’ll hear today, part of the problem is our low view of the Bible - that’s why there is such a disinterest in the things of God. But the bible is the very word of God - when the bible speaks, God speaks.

Today Pastor Al will be teaching from First Thessalonians chapter two, verses one through twelve. We’ll be reminded that Christian ministry is like the selfless and sacrificing roles of a mother and father. Paul and those who served with him are example for us to follow as pastors and spiritual leaders. Though not many are called to be pastors, we’re all called to the ministry on some level and to some degree.

On today’s program, we are going to turn our attention to a new study in the New Testament book of First Thessalonians. The apostle Paul wrote this awesome letter and as we get into it, we’ll notice the marks of a healthy and growing church, and look forward to the soon return of Christ. Al has noticed several things about the church in the first few verses and today he’ll draw that out of the text for us.

Today we bring you Al’s final message in his verse by verse series through Colossians. If you summed up this letter, it would be a loving warning to the church of Colossi that they had strayed from the true gospel and were more interested in philosophy and “higher thought” than the real message of repentance and salvation through Christ. Sound familiar? That’s what’s so great about God’s word - it’s as relevant today as it was when these words were written.
