I Thessalonians 5:4

This plan will explore what the letter of 1 Thessalonians teaches us in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

Are you ready to go deeper than surface-level faith? In this four-day devotional, Mark Biltz will help you move beneath the surface of Scripture, recognize counterfeit spirituality, align your life with God’s times and seasons, and stay faithful as “wheat” with a steady heart when the field feels confusing.

The same way winning a marathon requires a high level of physical fitness, we must be spiritually fit in order to run well the life God has set before us. Over the next 5 days, you’ll be conditioned to run this race to win. We’ll face the hurdle of hopelessness head on. We’ll discover how to stay encouraged and keep our fires burning for God no matter what challenges await.
