1 BATHESALONIKA 3:13

This plan will explore what the letter of 1 Thessalonians teaches us in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

During Advent, not only do we anticipate an event that has already taken place – Jesus’s first coming – but we also look forward to and anticipate his second coming! In this plan, designed to be used during any of the days of the Advent season, we will reflect on 1 Thessalonians as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Christmas.

Paul’s encouraging letter to the Thessalonian church is a beautiful treatise on unity, sanctification, and the coming of Christ. 1 Thessalonians reminds us to remain sober and steadfast, hopefully anticipating the return of the Lord.

A Journey Through 1 Thessalonians invites you into a five-day, Scripture-centered reading of one of Paul’s earliest letters. Walk with a young church learning how to live faithfully, love deeply, and stand firm while waiting for Christ’s return. With no devotionals and no distractions, this plan helps you focus on God’s Word, strengthen your faith, and grow in hope as you read one chapter each day.
