1 Thessalonians
Thriving in This Broken World
Thriving with Instruction
March 19, 2023 • Kirk Bentley • 1 Thessalonians 5:12–22
A registered letter from the Apostle Paul arrived with encouragement for the church family at Thessalonica. The letter addresses how to honor church leaders and then how the entire church is to live in step with the Holy Spirit.
Live in the Light
March 12, 2023 • Jason Williams • 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11
Christians are not to live with fear, stress, and anxiety regarding the judgment which is coming into the world against sin. We are children of the light and children of the day. Let us reject sin (darkness) and live as beacons of the light in this broken world.
Holiness and Honor
February 19, 2023 • Jason Williams • 1 Thessalonians 4:1–8
God is serious about wanting us (his people) to learn, grow and mature in our faith. He wants us to separate from sin and be set apart for his good plans. Honoring God with our sexuality is a significant step in our sanctification.
Reputation
January 22, 2023 • Jason Williams • 1 Thessalonians 1:2–10
The early Christians in the city of Thessalonica had a powerful reputation based on God’s mighty work in their lives. In the same way, we are meant to have a powerful reputation as the Holy Spirit continues his work in us and through us.
The Planted Seed
January 15, 2023 • Jason Williams • 1 Thessalonians 1:1–4, Acts 17:1–10
The Gospel Seed is being planted around the world. When the Good News is shared… there will be a Harvest! The proof is found in the church thriving in hostile environments around the globe. The church is meant to Thrive!
