1 Thessalonians 3:1-2

Paul’s encouraging letter to the Thessalonian church is a beautiful treatise on unity, sanctification, and the coming of Christ. 1 Thessalonians reminds us to remain sober and steadfast, hopefully anticipating the return of the Lord.

A Journey Through 1 Thessalonians invites you into a five-day, Scripture-centered reading of one of Paul’s earliest letters. Walk with a young church learning how to live faithfully, love deeply, and stand firm while waiting for Christ’s return. With no devotionals and no distractions, this plan helps you focus on God’s Word, strengthen your faith, and grow in hope as you read one chapter each day.

Ever wondered how to invest intentionally in people in a way that truly lasts? "Investing Like Paul" is a one-week devotional that explores how the apostle Paul invested in people for lasting spiritual fruit. Rooted in Paul’s ministry to the Thessalonians, it traces six gospel-shaped practices—Intercession, Imitation, Involvement, Instruction, Inquiry, and Investing in Light of Eternity—and shows how each flows from the life and work of Jesus Christ. With Scripture, reflection, and concrete daily challenges, this devotional invites readers into a way of life marked by prayer, presence, sacrificial love, and eternal perspective.

Waiting is uncomfortable. At best, it can be painfully boring, and at worst it can be full of uncertainty and fear. But this year, we invite you to think about waiting in a new way. The season of Advent is a season when we wait, not just for Christmas, but for Christ Himself, and as we wait for Christ, we are invited to participate in God’s work.
