Living in truth and with boldness

Last week, we began to dive into the first letter Paul wrote to the church in Thessalonica, a church that manifested the power of the Holy Spirit in response to the Gospel. They became imitators of Christ in much affliction and became an example of what the church should be (1 Thessalonians 1:6-7). So, in line with the title of the current sermon series, some basic practical advice for Christian living is to become imitators of Christ, submit to his will, and live in obedience to Christ, our Lord and Savior. 

This Sunday, we will look at the first nine verses of 1 Thessalonians 2. We will see how Paul and Silas set an example to please God rather than people, and to follow Christ with boldness and pure motives.
