In this first message in the 1st Thessalonians series, Pastor Ben explores the remarkable story of the Thessalonian church and challenges us to consider our own reputation as followers of Christ. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10, he examines how this ancient congregation of regular believers became known throughout Greece for their unshakeable faith, radical hospitality, and joy in the midst of persecution. Ben contrasts invites us to reflect: What are we known for? Through compelling historical context and practical application, this sermon calls us to build reputations that authentically point others to Jesus.
