'Paul's Ministry In Thessalonica.'
Acts 17:1-3.
a) Acts 17:1. Paul came to Thessalonica where there was a Synagogue of the Jews.
b) Acts 17:2. It was Paul's custom to go into the synagogue if he could, wherever he went.
c) Acts 17:2. For three Sabbath days Paul reasoned with them from the Scriptures.
d) Acts 17:3. Paul was explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead,
e) Acts 17:3. And saying: "This Jesus Whom I proclaim to you is the Christ."
(This QT teaches me something about Paul's Ministry In Thessalonica)
PRAY: For Missionaries and Churches in South East Europe.

'Epaphras.'
Colossians 1:7.
a) He taught well.
b) He was a Beloved fellow servant.
c) He was a Minister (servant) of Christ.
(This Second one encourages me - Epaphras)
PRAY: For more Servants of the Lord like Epaphras to be called by the Lord.

It would be a great Blessing for the Churches, if, like in the Bible New Testament,they have Ministers who reasoned from and explained the Word of God, strengthening the Believers. Then the Believers themselves can be serving the Lord in various ways. In such environments there can be good fellowship and Fellowship Lunches.
