Brief But Unstoppable

The message explored Paul's strategic and urgent approach to ministry in Thessalonica and Berea, where he planted churches and saw lives transformed in just a few brief weeks. Despite facing jealous opposition, mob violence, and being forced to flee, Paul's faithful urgency resulted in lasting kingdom impact. His method was simple yet profound: he reasoned, explained, and proved the Gospel from Scripture with people who needed to hear it. This challenges us to recognize that our time is short, tomorrow isn't promised, and God can do more with five minutes of our faithful urgency than we could accomplish in five lifetimes on our own. The passage calls us to examine our own posture—are we like the jealous Jews of Thessalonica, or like the noble Bereans who eagerly received and examined God's Word?
