The Church We Could Be

Apr 19, 2026    Dr. Darrin Waldroup

Tonight at Bethel, we take a look at one of the most powerful examples of a New Testament church found in 1 Thessalonians 1.


The church at Thessalonica wasn’t perfect—but they were powerful. Their faith was real, their testimony was strong, and their impact was far-reaching.


What if we became that kind of church?


In this message, we’ll explore:


A faith that works

A love that labors

A hope that endures

A testimony that spreads


This isn’t just about what the church was… it’s about what we could be through the power of God.


Come be part of a service that casts vision and calls us higher.
