What is the recipe for a successful ministry?  Does a church need all the right programs and discipleship materials?  Do they need to spend a little more time on the mission field to teach other cultures everything that has made our own churches successful?  In I Thessalonians the apostle Paul finds himself in a great dilemma.  He faithfully preached the gospel to those in Thessalonica.  But he had to leave those believers and hope that God would preserve them in the face of persecution.  Perhaps successful ministry has less to do with our talents and ingenuity than we would like to believe.  Listen as Pastor Jeremy challenges us to abandon our pride and give God the glory for building his church.
