The Parable of the Weeds

The Bible is filled with expressions of lament about the pain people experience in our world. Today we consider the value of the biblical form of lament. It serves as a bridge between the pain of living in a sin-filled world and the goodness of God.

The Bridge of Lament

What does God need to do in us to "sanctify" us completely?

Sanctify Completely

1 Thess 5:19-22 tells us not to quench the Spirit or despise prophecies. How do we listen to the Holy Spirit well?

Discerning the Movement of the Spirit

Is it God's will that we rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances. How do we develop these attitudes?

Living in God’s Presence

1 Thessalonians 5:13b-15 describes some of the ways a diverese group of people committed to Jesus come together to create community built on love for God and one another.

Creating Christ-Centered Community

1 Thess 5:13 tells us to esteem spiritual leaders very highly in love because of their work. We consider the nature of that work to explore why Paul highlights this group of people for honor.

Why Should We Honor Spiritual Leaders?

1 Thessalonians 4 begins with some instructions on living in a way that pleases God and gains the respect of outsiders.

A Life that Pleases God and Gains Respect

Paul reminds us that Jesus will return one day and that we should remain awake and aware of what God is doing until that day.

Palm Sunday: Celebrating the Lord of Lords

In 1 Thess 4:13-18, the Apostle Paul encourages Christians to see hope beyond the death of a loved one.

Our Joy in Jesus-Part 1

1 Thess 4:1-12-Transofrmation of our lives can only occur when we live by the Spirit.

Live By The Spirit

Biblical instructions are meant to be taken as God's will, not man's. How committed are we to living according to God's will.

Committed to the Will of God

How do you know what God's will for your life is? We all need practice developing spiritual discernment

Developing Your Spiritual Discernment

What achievement will you point to when you stand before Jesus?

A Life That Achieves Glory for Jesus

We continue our exploration of 1 Thessalonians and consider the reality that trusting God does not always mean life is easy.
