Serving the Gospel; Serving the Church - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16

Jesus radically redefined the idea of leadership when He spoke about the Kingdom of God: "...whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."  In our chapter today Paul defends the actions of he and his team when they first visited the city of Thessalonica- they came as servants who had been entrusted with the Gospel.  We seek to observe some specific characteristics of servant leadership in the Kingdom of God in this chapter and carefully apply it to whatever sphere of Christian ministry we find ourselves in!  May our hearts be encouraged to receive this word into our lives.
