First Thessalonians | Overflowing Love - 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Steve Lindenmeyer preaches from 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13. Love isn't meant to be contained; it's meant to overflow. As Paul closes chapter 3, he breaks into spontaneous prayer for the Thessalonian believers. He prays that their love would abound for one another, and for everyone. This overflowing love, he says, is what prepares us for the return of Christ. It's the defining mark of a true Christian. The question is simple: how well does love characterize our lives and our church?
First Thessalonians | Our Glory and Joy - 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:10 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor AJ Rankin preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:10. What would it take for you to lose sleep over someone else's faith? Paul is separated from a church he loves, and the uncertainty about their spiritual condition is unbearable. So he sends Timothy to check on them. When Timothy returns, Paul isn't interested in attendance numbers, buildings, or budgets. He wants to know: How is their faith? The gospel doesn't just change what we believe. It changes what we care about. How has the gospel c
First Thessalonians | The Word at Work - 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Jonathan Suggs preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16. Every Christian wants to be able to say, “God is really at work in this church.” But how can we know that? Are there signs? The Bible is abundantly clear that God works through his Word. But do we know the kind of work the Word does in people so that when we see it we can actually recognize it, and even more, give thanks to God for it? That’s exactly what Paul does in this passage. Something about the Thessalonian church makes him conf
First Thessalonians | The Joyful Cost of Ministry - 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor AJ Rankin preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12. A nursing mother knows that caring for her baby will be costly, but love moves her to give herself freely. Paul says this is what love among God’s people looks like. In 1 Thessalonians 2:7–12, gospel ministry is proven not by credentials or eloquence, but by a mother’s tenderness, a father’s patient instruction, and the willingness to toil for people who have become very dear. We’ll discover what it costs to love people the way Paul loved th
First Thessalonians | Entrusted Stewards - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor AJ Rankin preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6. Motives get questioned. Methods get scrutinized. At some point, every Christian has to answer: am I doing this for praise, or for God? Paul and his companions faced that test in Thessalonica, and they let their character answer instead of their results. This week in 1 Thessalonians 2, we see what it looks like to lead as entrusted stewards: the message must be true, the motives must be pure, the methods must be above reproach, and ultimately,
