1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 | Ben Potloff

Pastor Ben Potloff opens A Gospel Church series by asking what symptoms reveal genuine gospel transformation. Preaching from 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10, he shows that faith, love, and hope resound from a gospel-gripped community. Paul praised God for the Thessalonians because their faith worked, their love labored, and their hope endured through affliction. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the gospel had taken root, producing repentance, new life, and joyful perseverance. Like the Thessalonians, we are called to turn from idols, serve the living and true God, and wait with assurance for the return of Christ. True gospel transformation is seen in steadfast faith, loving service, and unshakeable hope.

Zechariah 9:9-13 | Max Janusch | "Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (v. 9b). Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem is recorded in all four Gospels, and two gospel writers, Matthew and John, go so ffar as to cite a particular Old Testament passage an connect it with this moment. In Zechariah 9:9-13, God promises his people that their king is coming and that he is bringinations and salvation for Israel. "Rejoice greatly! . . . Shout aloud!"
