Receiving and Believing

This message is a powerful reminder of how life-changing God’s Word can be. In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul thanks those who didn’t just hear the Word—they accepted it as God’s truth. We’re challenged to see Scripture not as ordinary words, but as the living, active voice of God. When we shift our perspective like that, the Bible becomes more than a book—it becomes personal. As we read and believe, God’s Word works in us, changing our hearts and shaping us to be more like Christ. It’s a reminder to stay rooted in Scripture every day—it’s how real transformation begins.
