Church on Fire - Golden Truths from 1st Thessalonians

How is it possible that a church full of young believers who didn't even have their eschatology straight could be an example for other churches to follow? How is it possible that such a young church could have such an impact on the world around them? The church in Thessalonica had their own areas where they needed growth and maturity. Sure, they were a bit mixed up about the Lord's return. But their love for the Jesus kept them watching and waiting. And their love for souls kept them working and serving. May the churches of this century find encouragement and direction from the church of Thessalonica!
