Walk Worthy - 1 These 1:4-10

Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10, this sermon explores how the early church at Thessalonica moved from receiving the gospel to actively multiplying it throughout Greece and beyond. Pastor Matt uses the natural human tendency toward imitation, observed even in infants, as a lens through which to examine how believers are called to imitate Christ and his messengers. Four distinguishing marks characterized the Thessalonian church's gospel multiplication: faithful endurance in suffering, evangelistic boldness in conversation, consistency between proclaimed message and lived lifestyle, and an eternal perspective rooted in the hope of Christ's return.
