Episode description

"Before we explore what a Christian does, we have to understand what a Christian is." 

As we continue in our new series in 1 Thessalonians, Pastor Ben Stuart breaks down Paul's introduction to the letter and examines a few of the defining characteristics of Christians, and how those traits are meant to encourage us in uncertain times. 

Key Verses // 1 Thessalonians 1:1-8
