The Impact of the Gospel, Part 1
References: 1+Thessalonians 1
The Thessalonian church held a tender place in the heart of the Apostle Paul. In this expositional study of Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, we see a paradigm for pastoral ministry, emphasizing the life-changing content of the gospel and concerns of Paul's heart for their healthy spiritual growth.Having established the believers in good Biblical theology, Paul clearly addresses issues of practical Christian behavior — sexual morality, work, honest living. The doctrinal foundations of the believers' hope, namely, the resurrection and return of Christ are established. And finally, the principles of healthy corporate life and worship within the local church are set forth.
This study of 1 Thessalonians provides a rich resource for understanding the dynamics of the Christian life, both in what we believe and how we are to behave.

“This book, as its title suggests, is a brief exposition of what Chris¬tians often refer to as ‘the person and work of Christ.’ Its focus is on some of the different ways in which the Bible portrays Christ’s identity and describes His ministry. The chapters are by no means exhaustive. They cover only seven of the many descriptions of Jesus found in the Bible, and none of those descriptions is treated exhaustively. So these pages are meant as a taster, a beginning exploration. Our joint prayer is that they will help some who are not yet Christians, be an eye opener to those who already are, serve as an encouragement for mature believers, and be a pleasure for all who love Christ.” – Alistair Begg and Sinclair Ferguson
