Episode 537 The Church in Thessalonica (Acts 17:1-9 and 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10)

BibleWorm

Today BibleWorm reads from two different books in the New Testament. We hear about Paul’s visit to the community in Thessalonica in Acts 17:1-9 and then read from his letter to that community in 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. As we read about the struggle of those early days for that budding church community, we wonder, what does it take for someone to throw in their lot with a revolutionary movement and really stick with it through all the real risk and seemingly constant uncertainty? And how can we support one another in living that sort of courageous life today?
