Have you ever heard a thunderclap that seemed to go on and on for several minutes? It is amazing to think of the power that echoes out through that sound.  Wave after wave of sound hits your ears as you feel the deep rumbles in buildings or even through your body.  This sermon is called "The Thunderous Gospel" and looks at 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10 as part of our "Faith Out Loud" sermon series on 1 Thessalonians.  We see the gospel ring out from God to the Thessalonians and how God used Paul to be an echo of this gospel through his life and ministry.  We also see that the Thessalonians then become echoes of the gospel as their lives and their witness rings out in their surrounding area.  I pray that we will understand the thunderous power of the gospel and that this power will ring out in our lives as well.
