Scripture used: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-3, 8-10 NIV, Ephesians 5:5 NIV
Quotes: Stott, The Message of 1 & 2 Thessalonians: "No church can spread the gospel with any degree of integrity, let alone credibility, unless it has been visibly changed by the gospel it preaches. We need to look like what we are talking about. It is not enough to receive the gospel and pass it only we must embody it in our common life of faith, love, joy, peace, righteousness, and hope."
