Bold in Faith, Gentle in Love

with The Rt. Rev C Andrew Doyle

What does it mean to live boldly for Christ while loving others with gentleness? Through Paul’s words to the Thessalonians, this sermon explores how God calls us to stand firm in faith, resist the pressures of the world, and reflect Christ’s love in all we do. Strengthened by His grace, we are invited to offer our lives to God through courageous faith, humble service, and genuine love for our neighbors.
