In a world full of division, distraction, and discouraging news, what does it look like to be a church that shines as a powerful example of hope? As we kick off a new series, “A Going Church for a Coming Lord,” Pastor Brian Autry turns to the ancient church in Thessalonica for a timeless blueprint. Despite facing hardship and affliction, the Thessalonians became a model of faith that “sounded forth” throughout their region. This message is both a heartfelt thank you and a powerful encouragement, exploring the vital signs of a healthy, exemplary church: a genuine faith that works, a deep love that labors, and a steadfast hope that endures, all centered on the good news of Jesus Christ. It’s a timely call for us to be an encouraged, enthusiastic, and evangelistic people who are expectantly waiting for our coming Lord.
