GoodNews 2023: Evangel
Today St. Paul’s continues to recover, explore, and celebrate her faithful rootage by being faithful to the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We are thoroughly American and have been for generations. This is where we have been planted, and this is where we are blooming. We are a hearty breed, faithful to the best of the ministry of Jesus Christ. St. Paul’s was originally founded to serve its local community in a language that they understood: German. Today we continue to serve that same mission: St. Paul’s aims to provide Christian worship, study, and service in a language that people understand. Of course, this means English, but more than that. We aim to make the gospel and the Bible understandable to ordinary people.
Thessalonians—Thorn, Thistle, and Throne
Explore Paul's first letter to the Thessalonian church, written amidst intense persecution. The Thessalonians faced suffering and death, but Paul reassured them that their faithfulness in the face of trials was proof of their steadfastness in Christ. This profound letter, the earliest book of the New Testament, draws on apocalyptic language and emphasizes the importance of understanding the Old Testament to fully grasp the message of redemption and hope. Paul's timeless words encourage believers to live faithfully in Christ, even as they face persecution, reminding us that the eternal hope in God remains relevant today.
