A Church Worth Celebrating - 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 (4.5.20) - Dr. Jordan N. Rogers

Dr. Jordan Rogers begins preaching through the Apostle Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians in this sermon from 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 entitled, "A Church Worth Celebrating." A church worth imitating is a church worth celebrating. In 1 Thessalonians 1, we read the Apostle Paul’s words of thanksgiving for the Church at Thessalonica. In this passage of Scripture, the Apostle celebrates this local church because their service was remarkable, their election was undeniable, and their testimony was powerful. The Thessalonian Church provides a premier example of a church worth imitating, and because they were a church worth imitating, they were a church worth celebrating!
