Rick BurgessHOST
So then he goes on.
Rick BurgessHOST
He says, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia You became an example to these people.
Rick BurgessHOST
They begin to watch you in this area of your influence there in Thessalonica, all of Macedonia, Achaia.
Rick BurgessHOST
And so they begin to see the way you guys live.
Rick BurgessHOST
They watched you in your church, and you became an example to them.
Rick BurgessHOST
I've gone out here into y'all's world, and everybody considers y'all to be the real deal, and they're following your example.
Rick BurgessHOST
Could that be said about us? He said it about them.
Rick BurgessHOST
And so then he goes on in verses 8 and 9, and he says, for not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so we need not say anything.
Charlie DatesHOST
Paul has planted churches all around Asia Minor.
Charlie DatesHOST
And he's asked the churches of Macedonia and Galatia and Achaia to raise a special offering to give to the poor Christians who are suffering in Jerusalem.
Charlie DatesHOST
In other words, the offering that I'm preaching about from 2 Corinthians chapter 9 is not tithes and offering.
Charlie DatesHOST
This is a given.
Nicholas WilsonHOST
Likewise, greet the church that is in their house.
Nicholas WilsonHOST
Salute my well-beloved Ephesus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
Nicholas WilsonHOST
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
Nicholas WilsonHOST
Salute Anderanus and Juliana, my kinsmen and my fathers.
Brice HigginbothamHOST
They should be an example for us.
Brice HigginbothamHOST
Just like they were an example for those other people in Greece, in the region of Macedonia, and in the region of Achaia.
Brice HigginbothamHOST
They should be an example for us.
Brice HigginbothamHOST
Because how easy is it for us when we have some little suffering? Why me? God must hate me.
speaker_0HOST
Corinth.
speaker_0HOST
together with all his holy people throughout Achaia.
speaker_0HOST
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
speaker_0HOST
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of comfort, who comforts us all in our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Tom BensonGUEST
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy.
Tom BensonGUEST
of the Holy Ghost so that you were in samples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia and from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia but also in every place your faith to God word is spread abroad so that we need not to speak anything for they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Tom BensonGUEST
So here's a church kind of a church loaded with positive things being said about it, tremendous character traits that we read here about these folks that would promote, I would say, a positive statement for being a great Christian or being a great church, being great Christians.
Tom BensonGUEST
But on the same token, there's many character traits by people that we come in contact with on a day-to-day basis who kind of prohibit that positive part of being a Christian for God's glory and we end up having some trouble.

Tom BensonGUEST
Look at verse number one, or chapter number one, verse number seven.
Tom BensonGUEST
Look what it says.
Tom BensonGUEST
So that ye were in samples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
Tom BensonGUEST
So my question to me when I looked at this is I'm thinking, do I really care for it? Am I really concerned about other people? Or am I just kind of like, okay, that's their problem, not my problem.
speaker_1NARRATOR
You became imitators of us and of the Lord for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
speaker_1NARRATOR
And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
speaker_1NARRATOR
The Lord's message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Your faith in God has become known everywhere.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Therefore, we do not need to say anything about it, for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us.

Adrian KitsonHOST
We should imitate young people, not the other way around maybe sometimes.
Adrian KitsonHOST
Receiving the word with much affliction, suffering, but with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
Adrian KitsonHOST
So that you became an example to all those who believed in Macedonia and Achaia.
JimHOST
Now, as we're going to listen to Paul, because Paul was going to report...
JimHOST
And so they got together, they fellowship, and Paul had set churches together in Syria, Cyprus, Galatia, Macedonia, Achaia, and Asia Minor, and he had so many fantastic experience, and Jews were saved, Gentiles were saved, and this and that and the other, he had a whole lot of things to report.
JimHOST
And so I can imagine... that the council was very anxious to find out all the details of what had gone on in his journeys.
JimHOST
And so he reports to them all of this information.
Dan RennerHOST
And he continued there a year and six months, so that's how we know he was there for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among them.
Dan RennerHOST
When Galileo was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul.
Dan RennerHOST
So he said, well, wait a minute.
Dan RennerHOST
Lord, I thought you just said that no one's gonna rise.
Enan ZelinksiGUEST
And you can see that this is, for him, a great thing, right? That they not just bear the affliction, but they bear it with joy.
Enan ZelinksiGUEST
He says, this is evidence that the faith in you is of the Holy Spirit because you became a great model for all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia and everywhere.
Enan ZelinksiGUEST
The witness of this small church, where Paul visited very briefly, the witness of their faith, especially in the affliction of non-believers around them, has borne fruit not just in the towns in which they live, but everywhere.
Enan ZelinksiGUEST
People know of this little church that's taking root in Thessalonica.
