1st Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 8.

For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Aqaya,

What a commentary on the church at Thessalynica!

That the Word of the Lord has sounded forth from this group of Christians, this local body of believers.

The word of God has sounded forth in Macedonia and Aikaius, so basically the region, all around them, but not just there,

their faith in God had gone forth everywhere. I want a statement everywhere. So far that Paul doesn't have

another word to describe how far it's gone so it's just like everywhere. It's gone

everywhere so that we need not say anything. In other words, the faith of

these believers, the word of God had spread from this church, from these believers far beyond, even the region

right around them.

Don't you want that to be true of your church?

Don't you want the Word of God to resound, to sound forth forth what a great picture like going out in the region right

city where you are because of your church.

And then beyond the community, city, region where you are,

around the world. So the only word is like it's going

everywhere from that church oh God we pray for this God I I'm

pray for this and a fresh way right now for the church that I

pastor God I pray that your word not the name of our church not anybody else's

name certainly mine anybody else's and may the name of Jesus and the word of the Lord,
