Sermon Overview

In the face of opponents who sought to undermine his ministry, Paul seeks to remind the Thessalonians about the validating marks of a true ministry. In this multi-sermon series, we will examine three marks of Paul’s ministry amidst the Thessalonians that should anchor us to the sufficiency of God’s Word. Today’s lesson will cover the first two of these characteristics of true ministry.

  1. Preaching with Power (2:1-2)
  2. Preaching with Truth (2:3-4)
  3. Preaching with Compassion (2:5-12)
    • Maternal Care (2:7-8)
    • Paternal Counsel (2:9-12)
