Remember the Gospel and Our Stewardship of the Gospel

Today was centered on the Gospel. From Sunday School, which focused upon how no matter how many the sins the promise of the Gospel means that if one turns away from sin, to the Lord all sin all magnitude of sins will be forgiven. Next communion and how Christ's body was broken for us, and His blood shed for washing us completely from the stain of sin. The hymns songs focused on Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Lastly the preaching focused on the stewardship believers have  of the Gospel, to share, proclaim, to meditate upon.
Sermon Text
1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 NASB
For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain,  but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition. For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;  but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts. For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed-God is witness- nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority. But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.
