SERMON OVERVIEW:

When you're out of town, ratings play a crucial role in picking a hotel or restaurant. But what about choosing a church? Should we pay attention to ratings for churches too? In today's sermon, Senior Minister Mark Magee explores what it means to be a "5-Star Church" as described in the New Testament.

SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION:

- Acts 17:1-9: Learn about the tumultuous beginnings of the church in Thessalonica, established by Paul despite opposition and riots.

- 1 Thessalonians 1: Paul commends the Thessalonian church for their faith, love, and hope, giving them a 5-star rating. This chapter serves as an encouragement and a model for modern churches.

CALL TO ACTION:

Mark encourages us to become a community centered on the Word of God, striving to be known for our faith, love, and hope in Jesus Christ. He challenges us to spend time reading, reflecting, and responding to the Bible, allowing it to transform our lives and inspire others.

Join us on this journey to becoming a 5-Star Church, shining brightly in our faith and actions!
