In a special candlelight Christmas Eve service, we turn our attention to the opening chapter of Luke's gospel and consider the invitation of God to join Him in the work He is already doing.

One of the foundational elements of our faith is the belief that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. In the section of Scripture that this session covers we will explore an interesting phrase used by Paul to describe a teaching of Jesus not found anywhere else in the Bible.

In this session, we discover what kind of accomplishments and success God wants for us.

This lesson is the intro to our study and explores the backdrop of the letter and more specifically how the church at Thessalonica started.

Session nine will challenge us in one of the most important topics we see in the life and teachings of Paul.

In this session, we examine how the message of the Gospel rippled out from the believers in Thessalonica and what actions they took to make it happen.

As Philip preached the Good News of Jesus Christ, and people believed, it led to the inevitable first next step of Christian baptism.

Session four explores a tough topic - sin and holiness. One of the overarching themes throughout the scriptures is God's invitation to us to live lives that are holy. This session answers some tough questions and challenges us to wrestle with the tension between our sin and God's call to holiness.

In the book of James, we read that having faith without actions is useless. The Thessalonians were being encouraged by Paul to live out their faith. To help them he provides some interesting short phrases for defining what kind of character they should be displaying. This session will help all of us to think about our actions, and if they reflect the faith, we claim to have.

When our lives are in alignment with Jesus it can actually inspire others to follow Jesus. In this session, we explore how the witness of the church in Thessalonica make a difference in the lives of others.
