As we are living in trying times, so it was during the time around 50AD when Paul visited Thessalonica. When we study the Scriptures, it's good to get a feel for the culture and what was going on at the time. Today's sermon is based around Paul and his sharing of the gospel. (1) Paul, …
When you go to a wedding, you don't expect to run out of wine, because those numbers have been calculated to make sure that doesn't happen.
