To the Church of the Thessalonians
Today we’ll begin a new sermon series on Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians. It’s one of Paul’s earliest and most heartfelt letters. After founding the church, he was forced to leave town because of persecution. He fled when the church was only five weeks old. Paul felt like a parent being torn apart from his infant child. Although he desperately desired to return to them, he was prevented from doing so. Imagine his delight when he received a glowing report on how well the Thessalonian believers were steadily growing in Christ amid their own persecution. If Paul were here today, he could easily write a letter to us—to the Church of Ossipee and the Lakes Region. Like the Thessalonians, he’d commend us for our love and commitment to Christ, for standing strong in our culture, and for longing for Christ’s return. As he told the Thessalonians, we’re to do these things “more and more.”
