Sermon Summary:

One of the most difficult things to do in life is discerning who you can truly trust. Unfortunately, we are often betrayed by those whom we should be able to trust the most, including spiritual leaders. But is there a way to identify Christian ministers who are trustworthy? The Scriptures give us the criteria for such discernment, and this text is one that helps us understand the nature of authentic ministry.

Series Summary:

Called the "Cinderella Epistles of the New Testament" by some, 1-2 Thessalonians are an often overlooked treasure of gospel hope for those who follow Jesus. Despite intense persecution, the Church of the Thessalonians persevered in the faith, longing for the day that Jesus returns to deliver his people and judge the wicked. Exemplifying the unique and genuine bond that arises through a shared faith and struggle, the Apostle Paul wrote to remind the beleaguered Thessalonians of their hope in Christ and to instruct them on how to carry on until he comes. Join us as we study these divinely inspired letters!
