Sunday, March 9 Traditions worship service.
We first learn about Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica in Acts 17: “After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews” (17:1). It’s very likely that the first letter of Paul to the Thessalonians is the earliest letter in the New Testament! This means that, for us as readers today, we find in 1 Thessalonians what was first on the mind of Paul and what were the initial issues being confronted by the early Church like: concerns about the timing of the return of Jesus Christ, the ethical behavior of Christians, and what is our task as disciples of Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 11am as we continue to learn from the Apostle Paul.
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10; 4:13-5:11; 5:12-28
