This Sunday the sermon is from 1 Thessalonians 2:17- 3:13 – “The Real World of Gospel Ministry”.  “… we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction …” – 1 Thessalonians 3:4

The Apostle Paul prepared 1st Century Christians for suffering. He essentially reminded them of His Savior’s words – “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) A famous hymn asks – “Is this vile world a friend to grace, to help me on to God?” And, Jesus warns and at the same time encourages His disciples with these words from John 16:33 – “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
