A Life Pleasing to God: 1 Thessalonians 1

How can we help those coming up behind us who are 'younger in the faith'? Paul's example with the church at Thessalonica is a beautiful example for pastors and older Christians. He shows us how to encourage and help others grow who are younger in the faith. He does so by:
Praying for them regularly (1:2-3)
Praising their diligent service for Christ (1:3)
Pointing out evidences of grace in their life (1:3-10)

Living by Faith: Galatians 1:1-10

In our thinking about others (12:4-8)

Know & Believe: John 21

Jesus' love is custom-tailored to each of us like a fine suit. His love measures us in the most uncomfortable ways, in areas we'd rather not assign numerical numbers to.

Know & Believe: John 19:38-20:31

Know & Believe: John 19:17-37

Jesus' "Final Hour" has literally arrived. And John wonderfully and masterfully composes a chronicle of the final moments of Christ's life much like a composer does a symphony. And yet, behind the pen of John, we see the hand of God, orchestrating the most beautiful piece ever composed.
 
His Final Hour:
A Symbolic Sign (19-17-22)
Soldiers and Sovereignty (19:23-24)
A Son and His Mother (19:25-27)
Suffering and Satisfaction (19:28-30)
A Side Pierced and Salvation Poured (19:31-37)

This is a story of 3 men who meet unexpected tests. Unexpected things happen, and when they do we have to consider three questions: Who is your God? What is he like? What does he want you to do?

Tests of Faith: Joshua 2

What do you do when a sudden test is thrown your way? Rahab was thrust into a life-or-death decision she never saw coming. Learn how we can face tests and be ready to respond in faith.

Tests of Faith: Psalm 44

If we just do it "God's way" it will be successful, right? How do you make sense of life when you did it God's way and it didn't turn out as a success?
