I Thessalonians 4:10

This series focuses on building three types of community: between you and God, between you and self, and you and others. We will focus initially on the first Christian community found in Acts 2:42-47 which showcases the purity of devotion each believer had to God and each other. As their community grew stronger, so did their faith as God added to their number day by day.

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

God’s desire is for you to move onward and upward in every arena of life: spiritually, emotionally, in influence... It’s just part of who He is! As you grow and develop spiritual maturity, your priorities change; you discover your unique calling and responsibility to represent Christ well in your world so that you can one day hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

It's a question that we often ask only when confronted with the death of a loved one or following a diagnosis of terminal illness. Yet the answer to this fundamental of all questions will determine how we live our lives.
