THE RIGHT EXAMPLE   

I Thessalonians 1:1-10
The Thessalonian church set a good example for others
to follow. 

1.  Good Spiritual Fruit is Cause for Thanksgiving 

     (I Thessalonians 1:1-3)

     Paul was thankful for the church's commitment to

     Jesus despite the antagonistic culture in which they

     lived.

     (I Thessalonians 1:4-7) 

     The lives of the Thessalonians made it evident they

     had genuinely been saved.

 
3.  A Godly Example Has a Far-Reaching Impact

     (I Thessalonians 1:8-10)

     The Thessalonian believers became models for all

     the Greek believers.
