Zoe Dallas Zoe Community Church of Dallas

As we are all called to do the work of ministry, Paul gives us three markers that define whether our work is good and pleasing to God: do we walk the talk, do we fear God, and do we actually care?

The gospel radically changes us within, so what is the evidence of such a changed life? Paul commends the Thessalonian church as a model of gospel transformation.

The doctrine of election can be difficult, but God’s choice is a good thing. His selection is specific, powerful, and motivated by love, leading to thanksgiving and glory and praise.

The Christian gospel is salvation by grace through faith, but that which makes us alive in Christ must also produce faith that works, love that labors, and hope that endures.

Join us as we start a new series through 1 Thessalonians! In verse 1, Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy write to a young church explaining what they need to continue to live and grow together as people who have come together in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

How should we as Christians relate to our parents? To children and adults alike, the fifth commandment to honor our parents still applies for our good today.
