For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

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
Headlines bring fear, but Scripture points to hope. In this 4-day Plan, the Bible shows us how to stand steady, love boldly, and live with integrity in the last days. Instead of being overwhelmed by chaos or predictions of the end, you’ll discover how God’s Word gives strength, peace, and direction for everyday life in a broken world.
