The Power of the Word of God.

"For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake."

In summary, the verse emphasizes that the gospel message brought by Paul and his companions was not just words but was accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit, conviction, and a genuine lifestyle. Thessalonian church was the model church in the New Testament. Paul and his team demonstrated perseverance in the face of persecution, traveling and preaching, financial sacrifices, prayer and reliance on God etc..

Let us pray for all who are sick:

Heavenly Father, God of Abraham, we come to you as one body, heal all who are sick, we know your word is very powerful and through your word, heal us and let us grow under your supervision. Thank you for being our Lord. We ask this in your name Jesus Christ. Amen!
