Grieving With Hope

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

January 8, 2023 • Vlad Burlaka • 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14

Grieving well. Understanding death. Being infused with hope to press on faithfully.

The pain of grief can be profound. Thank God for clarity that helps the grieving Christian understand what happens next.

Three ways Paul will change the Thessalonians thinking, and as a result three ways the Christian's thinking can be transformed when it comes to grief, death, and hope.

Kept Until Glory

As we conclude our series in 1 Thessalonians, we unpack Apostle Paul’s farewell. The parting words in this passage ought to be an oasis of refreshment, a moment of recharging, and a time of encouragement for our Christian walk. The God of peace will finish what He’s begun.

What was it like for the church before the New Testament was fully written? The Thessalonians are going to help us answer that question. As we understand what they were going through, it ought to help us better engage with our own full canon of God's Word. 1. Don’t Do This (v.19-20) 2. Do This (v.21-22)
