1 Thessalonians

In a world that feels more like Hell everyday, you need a practical guide for how to survive in the end times. That’s why we’re diving into 1 Thessalonians. Jesus is coming back, but our job isn’t done yet. With this 7-day devotional, you’ll learn how to pull Heaven down instead of bringing Hell up.

A Study in 1 Thessalonians

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.

1 + 2 Thessalonians | Reading Plan + Study Questions

From Scripture, it is clear that we are to honour, show respect and love for our leaders, and never stop praying.

In these days where significant global challenges are impacting the Church, our leaders need our focused, intentional prayer as they lead.  

For fourteen days, we look to Scripture and pray intentionally for those who lead in our church, each day focusing on a different aspect of leadership. 

Praying for Leaders

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

This reading plan is part of a series that will take you through the entire New Testament in a year. Each month's plan covers a specific book. April covers the second half of Acts and Pauls first letter to the Thessalonians. Read the daily passage first, reflect on one or more of the questions, then try the engagement practice.
