Take your Bibles and turn with me to 1 Thessalonians 3. Make your way over

to 1 Thessalonians 3. We are continuing in this same vein as Paul continues

to write about his thinking and approach to this church.

We’ve been learning so much about how the gospel and the word of God works

to save and sanctify us. We have had a window into what characterizes a

faithful church as we see Paul write not only instructions to this church,

but also sharing how he thinks and how he operates in ministry.

The past couple of weeks have really honed in on the interdependence of the

Christian life.
