Description

1 Thessalonians is a celebration of a church that against all odds is standing up for Jesus and growing in maturity. Paul had to flee and didn’t return. They didn’t get the input he would have wanted them to have. They were experiencing severe persecution and yet Paul finds them standing firm.

So what does it take to be a church of robust Jesus followers that press ahead in the midst of change and hardship? The answer is a gritty approach where we dare to share Jesus, where we live imitable lives and where we agonise in prayer, determined to see others mature. It’s a church more at home in a boxing ring than an armchair. It’s a church that’s giving everything to help as many people as possible follow Jesus. It’s a church of blood, sweat and tears.
