Responding to Criticism in a Godly Way | 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16
Introduction:
– Criticising Christians is nothing new.
1. The Criticism Paul Faced (v1-6a).
2. The Outworking of the Gospel (v6b-12).
3. The Cost of Discipleship (v13-16).
Conclusion:
– By faith, speak and act courageously in the name of Jesus – and don’t be silenced
by the criticisms of others;
– In love, learn to encourage and support one another;
– And in hope, endure times of suffering – knowing they will come upon those who
love and follow Jesus.
