LIFE APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. In 1 Thessalonians 1, the Apostle Paul commended the church and thanked God for them. One of the main reasons for this is found in 1 Thessalonians 1:8. Here is what Paul said, “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out…” Paul is speaking here primarily of their evangelistic efforts. If Paul were to write you a personal letter, what would he say to you regarding YOUR evangelistic habits? Has “the word of the Lord” sounded forth from you? Would he commend you? Would he be forced to warn you or even rebuke you? Be honest and transparent.
2. What do you think your strengths and/or weaknesses are when it comes to evangelism or sharing Jesus? Be honest…we are not here to criticize or judge each other. We are here to help each other.
