In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues to look at Paul’s introductory prayer of thanksgiving for the Thessalonian believers in 1 Thessalonians 1. In this sermon, he looks at verses 4 and 5 and sees how Paul and his ministry companions were convinced of the Thesslonian’s being chosen by God by looking at key pieces of evidence in their lives. In understanding these verses, we can learn how to look for those very same evidences in our own lives in order to provide us with comfort, encouragement, and endurance in our Christian life if those evidences are present, or with conviction and challenge if those evidences are lacking.
