In these last three Sundays we looked at what pleases the Lord.
We turn to 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 to further unpack the Lord’s will for our lives.
1. God Is Pleased, When We Cultivate Love
2. God Is Pleased, When We Don’t Exploit Love

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)
The gospel & theology shape the Christian’s life. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Paul provides 3 commands that must to be a fundamental part of your life if you're In Christ. 1. Rejoice Always (v.16) 2. Pray Without Ceasing (v.17) 3. Give Thanks In All (v.18)
