God has gifted all of His children with at least one spiritual gift that is to be active in the lives of other Christians for their spiritual growth. That is the church alive. Is He using you in the spiritual development of other believers? This Lord’s Day, we look at four ways God may use us in the exercise of our spiritual gifts for the good of His people.

In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, he twice gives the command “encourage one another” with an additional command to “build one another up” or edify. These are two of the most important commands a Christian may obey and show an ultimate obedience to loving one another. This Lord’s Day, we look at the ways we may minster encouragement to one another.

In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, he twice gives the command “encourage one another” with an additional command to “build one another up” or edify.

n the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, he instructs them on the Day of the Lord; that next great event in human history. He tells them it will come like a thief in the night and thus we should learn how to live in light of the Lord’s sudden return.

This Lord’s Day, we enter chapter five of the New Testament book of 1 Thessalonians. The Apostle Paul is instructing the Thessalonian believers on “The Day of the Lord.” This day of all days is one of contrast. For the unbeliever, it is a day of terror and destruction. For the believer, it is a day of joy and deliverance. In light of this day, Paul is directing the Thessalonians believers on how to live for it will come suddenly like a thief in the night.
