In this most personal of letters from the Apostle Paul, he bears his heart of love to these Thessalonians. In doing so, he shows one of the highest displays of love for believers – praying. Lord willing, we will look at the prayers of the Apostle Paul for the Thessalonian believers and see a model to follow in our own prayer lives.

In this most personal of letters from the Apostle Paul, he bears his heart of love to these Thessalonians. In doing so, he affirms these believers as being a community of faith, love and hope. As such they developed a worthy reputation as a Christ-centered and Gospel-influencing church. Lord willing, we will look at three aspects of their reputation – its characteristics, its impact, and its development.

The first letter to the Thessalonians is a treasure chest of examples of Christians and a church fervent with first love for Christ. And what we see in this church and the Apostle Paul is a deep desire for togetherness. This Lord’s Day, we explore the motive behind our commitment to be with each other for the practice of Biblical fellowship on mission together.

This Lord’s Day, we continue in the New Testament book of 1 Thessalonians looking at the ministry God honors. In chapter two, the Apostle Paul defends his ministry against slanders and critics but not for his sake, but for Christ, His Gospel, and the spiritual health of the young Thessalonian believers. Here we find a model of our own ministries and how to properly defend it against those who would seek to discredit and damage its Gospel effectiveness.

This Lord’s Day, we continue looking at the Thessalonian believers and the evidence of lives changed by the Gospel. In this look, the evidence the gospel is changing us will be in our spreading the gospel with words and affirming the gospel by our living.

This Lord’s Day, we look at the Thessalonians and see the evidence of lives changed by the Gospel. What we will encounter serves us well to evaluate our lives to see how the Gospel has changed and is changing our lives.
