1 Thessalonians 1:1-3

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

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.

This plan offers a 5-day journey through the book of 1 Thessalonians, making it ideal for both individual and group study.

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.
