1 Thessalonians 1:6-8

The world is enamored with this idea of rebuilding from the rubble. Think about it. You’ve likely heard a song with the lyric, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” You’ve likely seen a movie where the main character loses everything but comes back stronger than before. The world is fascinated by endurance. In today’s message, Pastor Mark encourages you to stay diligent, stay strong, and stay faithful to Christ amid hardships and persecution. Your ability to rebuild from the rubble is a powerful testimony to unbelievers in the world because they are watching to see if your faith is as strong as you claim it is.
