1 Thessalonians 5

Send us a text

We explore the final chapter of First Thessalonians, examining Paul's teachings on Christ's return and practical instructions for Christian living while awaiting that day.

• Christ will return unexpectedly "like a thief in the night," but believers shouldn't be surprised
• We are "children of light" called to be spiritually awake and sober
• The hope that we will recognize our loved ones in heaven (1 Thess 5:10)
• Christians should respect and financially support those who work hard in ministry
• The importance of building others up and living in peace within the church community
• Paul's call to "rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances"
• How to test prophecies without quenching the Spirit
• Paul's prayer for complete sanctification of "spirit, soul and body"

Join us next week as we begin our study of 2 Thessalonians 1
