Sermon: “A Godly Reputation” from Dan Mitchum

Dan Mitchum - March 8, 2026

Four Marks of Faithful Ministers*

Televangelists and prosperity preachers are notorious for exploiting people’s faith for their own financial gain. Far from being a new problem, spiritual frauds have existed for centuries. They even gained a reputation in Paul’s time. So much so that, after fleeing Thessalonica, Paul was accused of being one of them. To discredit him before new believers, the leaders of the time tried to smear Paul’s ministry and motives. But it didn’t work. In 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Paul defends his ministry as authentic, and in doing so, he shows us what it means to be faithful servants of Christ's gospel. BTW, are you wondering what the asterisk is about? Watch and find out!
