In the final week of our sermon series, “People of the Light,” Pastor Mark guides us through the end of 1 Thessalonians to help us understand how to live a great life and to discern God’s will for our lives.
The disciples of the early church anticipated Christ’s return in their lifetime. In this week’s message, Pastor Mark continues teaching from Paul’s first letter, as he explores the questions about what happens when we die and what happens at the end of time.
Faithfulness is about much more than marriage. It is steadfastness and trustworthiness in all areas of our lives, and as we learn to be faithful to God in all things, we can endure all things.
When we face criticism, we often respond with anger, denial, or defensiveness, but that causes us to miss a great opportunity for growth. Paul shared wisdom with the Thessalonian church to help them persevere through challenges, and that wisdom can help us remain steadfast through obstacles, persecution, and criticism today.
