This message emphasizes the power and purpose of thankful prayer, inspired by Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 1:2–3. It highlights how prayer has been foundational to the church’s journey—from its multicultural beginnings to its growth through challenges. Focusing on Paul’s persistence, proximity, and perspective in prayer, we’re encouraged to be consistently grateful, to see others through God’s work in them, and to ground our hope in Christ. As a church, we are called to pray together, listen for God’s direction, and thank Him for the faith, love, and hope we see in one another.
