1 Thessalonians 1 5:-10

To the Church in Elk Rapia...
The Impact of a Faithful Life

5) For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

6) And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.

7) So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8) For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

9) For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

10) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.



Outline

In the past few months we have heard the term legacy often. From a presidential candidate to an outgoing president, the term legacy has been used repeatedly. After almost 2000 years a legacy has been left by a church in Thessalonica that still has profound merit today. Let's continue the legacy.

A) How we live... vs.5
  1. Our words must match our actions!
B) Can influence how others live... vs. 6
  1. Imitating us
  2. Imitating our Lord

C) Which can influence how others may live... vs. 7,8
  1. Ensamples= model
  2. Sounded = to reverberate

D)
Resulting in others knowing about... vs. 9,10
  1. Work of faith - Turned to God from idols
  2. Labor if love - Serve the Living and true God
  3. Patience of hope - Wait for his Son

                                                                           Big Idea:
                        
To leave an eternal legacy, live for God!
