Sep 20, 2026 Receive The Word – Acts 17:1-9, 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 – September 20, 2026
As in other cities where the gospel was first preached by Paul and his mission team, many people in the city of Thessalonica believed in Jesus as Messiah and confessed him as Lord. What stands out about these new believers is that they received the gospel in much tribulation and with great joy. Today, from the account of the mission in this city, and from Paul’s letter to the church in there, we are encouraged to open our hearts to God’s word by faith and to be changed by it.
Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
