Duration: 60 min 26 s
Description: Paul's opening thanksgiving for the Thessalonians reveals that their faith, hope, and love were entirely the fruit of God's electing grace, not their own doing, and that this grace-produced life made them (and Paul, Silas, and Timothy before them) an example others could imitate, calling University Reformed Church to be the same kind of imitable community.
