Join us for our upcoming series, Living the Faith, based on the Apostle Paul’s first letter, 1 Thessalonians. Written to a new church that Paul and his team founded during his second missionary journey in Thessalonica, this letter offers guidance on living a Christian life.

Throughout the month, we’ll explore important questions such as: How do we live out our faith daily? How can we nurture those who are new to Christianity? And, when will Jesus return?

This Sunday we will be reading  1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 in these passage the Apostle Paul praises the Thessalonian church for being a model of faith and exemplary conduct. The phrase “turn to God from idols” is particularly significant, as it reflects their profound shift away from idol worship, including their  worship of Caesar. They have turned to serve the living and true God instead. Paul also highlights their hope in the return of Jesus, a core element of Christian faith. This passage serves as a powerful example of how their belief in Jesus’ return sets a standard for all believers. It demonstrates how genuine faith in Christ can transform lives and make a profound impact on others.
