Gospel Influencers

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 1:5b-10 \

In today's world, those with enough followers on social media are often labeled as "influencers" and paid to steer their followers towards a certain product or point of view by virtue of their endorsement. Jesus is the greatest influencer in all of history, and those who follow him become gospel influencers themselves by virtue of the powerful change and testimony of their lives. But that influence is not towards products or perspectives that promise a better life, but towards a person, indeed the Person, who promises life itself: the true and living God. In his letter, Paul gives thanks for the gospel influence of the Thessalonian church. Join us Sunday as we continue in our study of 1st Thessalonians and seek as individuals and as a church to better understand and live as gospel influencers in our community and culture today.
