Week 1 of series "The Gospel According to Paul".
Scripture Lesson: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-25
1 Thessalonians is the oldest extant writing from the New Testament – so it gives us a pretty good idea about the concerns of the early church. Paul wrote to the church in Thessaloniki to encourage them to remain steadfast in the face of persecution, and to allow their lives to reflect Christ. Paul’s hope for this church is that they would be/remain pure through Christ, and that their holiness would set them apart as followers of Jesus.
