Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat makes a congregation more than just a group of people in the same place? In 2 Thessalonians 1, Paul shows us that a church is meant to be living evidence of God’s grace—growing in faith, increasing in love, and persevering in trials. This sermon explores what it means to “present the evidence” of who we are in Christ: not to prove ourselves, but to display the truth already declared at the cross. If you're local, come on by!
