A Study in 1 Thessalonians

The church of Thessalonika had been waiting for the return of Christ. But some time had gone by. Had they missed out on his return?

During Advent, not only do we anticipate an event that has already taken place – Jesus’s first coming – but we also look forward to and anticipate his second coming! In this plan, designed to be used during any of the days of the Advent season, we will reflect on 1 Thessalonians as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Christmas.

Waiting on the World to Change

While awaiting the return of Jesus in the midst of trials and persecution, Christians in Thessalonica must have been greatly encouraged to receive this letter from the Apostle Paul praising them for their persevering faith and giving assurances concerning the resurrection of believers who die before Christ returns. No matter our circumstances, let this letter encourage us that we may always rejoice and give thanks for our hope in Jesus.

Daily Bible Reading Plan With Christian Mael (November)

Beginning with Philippians, Paul gives insight into his personal experiences, including his ability to be content in both abundance and lack. Then, in Colossians, Paul focuses on the supremacy of Christ, showcasing His sovereignty in the physical and spiritual realms. Finally, in 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes to honor and congratulate the Christians in Thessalonica for their faith and growth in the face of intense persecution.

Philippians - Living in the Word

Join us for a journey through the book of 1 Thessalonians. This book is considered the earliest letter written in the New Testament, and Paul writes to the Church he planted, encouraging them in their faith to remain unshakeable. Have you ever felt shaken by the tough seasons of life? We pray this devotion will strengthen you, giving you an unshakable faith. 

Unshakable: Living Faithfully Through the Tough Seasons of Life

Have you ever seen an action movie where the stunts became more and more outrageous? Each stunt gets more extreme as the movie continues to push the limits of what to expect. What if that same mindset inspired us to live differently in our lives? What if we looked to God for ways to be extreme and do the unexpected in places like generosity?

Over the Top

The New Testament is full of letters written by the Apostle Paul and fellow believers. In this study we will delve into a number of these letters to deeply explore practical wisdom, encouragement, and unwavering faith. These letters will challenge, encourage, and transform us as we seek to apply the timeless truths to our own lives. Join us as we journey through these letters.

The Letters Continued - 1& 2 Thessalonians | Philippians | James | Jude

The apostle Paul spent just a few weeks in Thessalonica, and there he started a church and shared the good news about Jesus’ resurrection and return. But once Paul left, misconceptions about Jesus’ return started creeping into the church.  1 Thessalonians is a heartfelt letter from Paul that provides hope while explaining how to live in the in-between, knowing Jesus will return but not knowing when.


1 Thessalonians: A 7-Day Devotional 

Join us on a four-day devotional journey designed to inspire and equip you to live out the call to encourage and build up the body of Christ.

Whether you are a young mom or a mom of grown adults, this 12 day devotional plan will keep you focused on the many blessings God provides for your family. Short, daily readings and accompanying scripture passages will guide you in choosing to be grateful in whatever circumstances you find yourself this season.

In All Circumstances

The Apostle Paul was the greatest Christian missionary and theologian who ever lived. He was more responsible than any other individual for the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. If we accept the spread of Christianity and its enduring impact on civilization as a measure of his effectiveness, then Paul must be recognized as one of the most influential men in history.  In this plan we will take a close look at the life and letters of the Apostle Paul. We will see how he was able to lead a legacy that continues to impact the world today - and we will see how each of us can also lead a life that leaves a legacy. 

Legacy Leadership: Wisdom Of The Apostle Paul

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. 

Encouragement: A Study in 1 Thessalonians

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

KNOW 1 Thessalonians

Did you know that the Bible not only praises the ambitious person but that it actually offers counsel about what ambition should look like for the follower of Jesus? Join us as we unpack Paul’s teaching in 1 Thessalonians on the topic of Christian ambition.

Being an Ambitious Christian

1 Thessalonians

Has Jesus already come and gone? Second Thessalonians assured fearful people who had been told a lie and that Jesus Christ’s second coming was still to come. He didn’t leave you behind. Don’t give up. This same truth keeps a fire kindled in our hearts that produces self-control, discipline, and determination to keep moving forward. Trusted Bible teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee leads us through this short, powerful book. 

Thru the Bible—2 Thessalonians

Written shortly after 1 Thessalonians, Paul’s second letter continues to encourage the Thessalonian church by admonishing them to stand firm on the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:15). As Paul instructs the church about the coming of Christ, we are reminded to be made worthy of God’s calling and fulfill all the good works of faith.

Stand Firm: A Study in 2 Thessalonians

This devotion taken from the book of 2 Thessalonians will equip you with biblical truths and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.


Book of 2 Thessalonians

Shortly after sending the first letter to the Thessalonians that dealt extensively with eschatology, another letter forged in Apostle Paul’s name crept in the church, falsely claiming that Jesus had already returned, causing idleness and confusion among the believers. Paul promptly wrote this letter to rectify their distorted understanding concerning the return of Jesus and to remind the readers, including us, to stay positive and productive on a daily basis.

Through the Bible: 2 Thessalonians

Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica to clear up confusion circulating about Jesus’ return. In a previous letter, Paul had said Jesus’ return was imminent. Some in the church took that to mean Jesus was coming back immediately. Paul corrects them and instructs the church on how to live in the meantime. Reading this study, you’ll face the reality of Jesus’ return and our responsibility to live for him.

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the eighteenth part "Paul to the Leaders." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge–18–Paul To The Leaders

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the letter, Paul commands Timothy to “guard the deposit” (1 Timothy 6:20) by combatting false teachers, protecting the flock of Christ, and structuring the church well. 1 Timothy shows us the incredible privilege of being in God’s church and the high calling of leading it.

Guard the Deposit: A Study in 1 Timothy

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this heart-transforming devotional. There is only one mediator between God and man — Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for you. He paid the penalty of sin just for you. Through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, you are free from the bondage of sin and the entanglement of sin no longer lords over you. Surrender to Christ as you read this powerful message.

For There Is One God

This plan is part of a series that will take you through the entire New Testament in a year.  July covers 2 Corinthians, Titus, 1 and 2 Timothy, Colossians, and 1 John. Read the passage first, then engage the reflection questions.  

New Testament in a Year: July

Apostle Paul recruited the puerile Timothy as his assistant during his second missionary journey. Fast forward a decade, Timothy had undertaken a bigger responsibility to pastor the Ephesian church. Hearing the reports of the older Christians’ questioning Timothy’s capability, Paul penned this letter to affirm Timothy, charging him to set an example of faith, and giving practical leadership advice. Paul’s words to Timothy will significantly resonate with anyone in ministry.

Through the Bible: 1 Timothy

Timothy was a young man known for being timid. The book of 1 Timothy is a letter from his mentor, the apostle Paul, urging Timothy to be bold in his identity in Christ. Our present time calls for men who will stand up and speak up for what they believe. This devotional urges us, in the words of Paul, to “fight the good fight of faith.”

1 & 2 Timothy

We all know the rules in our own houses. But how should we behave in God’s house? Paul wrote 1 Timothy as a letter to remind Timothy how people should behave in God’s house so that God’s reputation didn’t suffer as “that family” you knew on your street who were a total wreck. This letter not only points out what’s often wrong in church but also gives us solutions.

1st Timothy Explained | How to Behave in God's House

"What is my Calling?"

If you've been in church for a while (or even a little bit) chances are you've heard this question before... but what does it all mean, and how do we even find our calling?

Over the next seven days, we are going to explore this idea. We will ‘bust some myths’ and become confident and secure in the call of God on our lives.

The Captive Cause - Discover Your Calling

What is a leader? How does God want me to lead? These are the questions we will be studying as we move through this plan.

Dreams Come True (Bible App for Kids)

After an encounter with Jesus, Paul was radically changed. This change led him to plant churches, go on missions, and write much of the New Testament. Two of the books he penned were letters written to a young man named Timothy. Paul wrote regarding church leadership and ministry perseverance that are powerful reminders to us today as we seek to stand firm with faith in an ungodly world.

Love God Greatly - 1 & 2 Timothy 

Have you felt like you needed a hug of encouragement lately? Well this Reading Plan is for you! St. Paul wrote this letter to Timothy to encourage him in his many responsibilities. The letter lays the foundation for making wise decisions in every step of life.

Prayers From 1 Timothy

Deeper Into Scripture is  a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God's Word daily and deeply.  We have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times.  Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered.  This repetitive reading takes us deeply into the Word of God, increases our understanding and draws us closer to Him.

Deeper Into Scripture: 1 Timothy

Everybody’s Welcome: Peter’s Vision and Cornelius (Bible App for Kids)

Written to Timothy, the books of 1 & 2 Timothy present Paul’s passion for preserving the truth of God’s Word. At the heart of Paul’s message is the charge for Timothy to remain true to the gospel, no matter what. Join us in these letters, rich with wisdom and hope, as Paul reminds us how remaining faithful to the gospel's truth is the foundation of a Christ-centred life.
