We begin the amazing letter of 1 Thessalonians this Sunday Lord willing! I am excited to see how the Holy Spirit uses this 5-week series in our hearts to grow us in Christ's mission of making disciples and planting churches.
I want to ask you to do 2 things:
Take 7 minutes and watch this video that shares the why the Apostle Paul wrote this letter and how it all fits in God's grand story of redemption.
Read through 1 Thessalonians at least once between now and Sunday. It is only 5 short chapters. You can do it!
Here is the outline for the 5 weeks the Lord has planned:
The Ready Disciple — A Study in 1 Thessalonians
10.25 - 1 Thessalonians 1.1–10
1 Thessalonians — A Disciple is a Willing Follower
11.1 - 1 Thessalonians 2.1–20
1 Thessalonians — A Disciple is a Proud Parent
11.8 - 1 Thessalonians 3.1–4.12
1 Thessalonians — A Disciple is a Living Tribute
11.15 - 1 Thessalonians 4.13–5.11
1 Thessalonians — A Disciple is a Hope-filled Sufferer
11.22 - 1 Thessalonians 5.12–28
1 Thessalonians — A Disciple is a Steadfast Warrior
Looking forward to being TOGETHER with you all this weekend.
MUCH love!
