Scripture

• 1 Thessalonians 1:6

About this sermon

The Thessalonian church was a tremendous example to Paul as well as other churches around the world. Their lives were impacted by the power of the Holy Spirit who changed their lives and empowered them to live for Jesus Christ. Paul provided for us in this passage several reasons why they became a good example. In this message we look at the example of Jesus Christ and what it means to be a follower of the Lord. We are to follow HIS steps. * We Should Follow His Steps * Like a slow gentle stream that flows through an emerald valley, Jesus was an example of patience so that we should follow His steps. * Like a diligent mosquito, that is bent on biting his victim, Jesus was an example of persistence in doing His Father's will so that we should follow His steps. * Like afresh blanket of snow that adorns a mountain peak, Jesus was an example of purity so that we should follow His steps. * Like heavy fruit-laden boughs of majestic trees, Jesus was an example of productivity so that we should follow His steps. * His moments alone with God the Father in the quiet hours of cool, misty nights were an example of His prayerfulness, so that we should follow His steps.
