The Birth of an Expectant Church | Pastor Rick Wright | The Church at CW

Apr 19, 2026 • Pastor Rick Wright

The early church in Thessalonica shows us what a transformed life truly looks like. Their faith was rooted in Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit, producing real conversion. Even in adversity, they endured with joy, becoming examples to others. Their lives spoke loudly—they turned from idols, shared the gospel boldly, and lived with purpose. But what set them apart most was their expectation. They lived daily looking for Jesus to return. An expectant church isn’t passive—it’s active, faithful, and hopeful. As we await His coming, may we live the same way—ready, resilient, and reaching others.
