I. The Church @ Thessalonica - Acts 17:1-11 II. The 6 Marks of a Healthy Church (Based on the Test & Testimony) We must examine WHAT we do and WHY we do it! 1. The Work of Faith - WHAT/WHY We work because we believe 2. The Labor of Love - WHAT/WHY We labor because we love 3. The Endurance of Hope - WHAT/WHY We persevere because we have hope (A church that lacks work; labor or endurance is a church that lacks faith, hope, & love!)
