A promise we don’t often claim is that those who seek to live godly lives will suffer persecution. This was true of the Thessalonian Christians, and yet they stood firm in persecution for the gospel’s sake. But that raises the question, why does the gospel arouse such opposition?

We have commands that have come directly from the Lord. The Thessalonians believers understood that the word that the Apostle gave them was in truth - the word of God. And they responded accordingly.

Everyone comes into the world as a baby but we mature - some faster than others!. The same is true spiritually. And too many in the Church have not matured. As we’ll hear today, part of the problem is our low view of the Bible - that’s why there is such a disinterest in the things of God. But the bible is the very word of God - when the bible speaks, God speaks.

Today Pastor Al will be teaching from First Thessalonians chapter two, verses one through twelve. We’ll be reminded that Christian ministry is like the selfless and sacrificing roles of a mother and father. Paul and those who served with him are example for us to follow as pastors and spiritual leaders.

In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
