1 Thessalonians 1. Day 227 - The New Testament in a Year

Faith, Love, and Hope in Action.  The Power of the Gospel.  Becoming Examples for Others. 

For the word of the Lord rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out.  - 1 Thessalonians 1:8

What does it look like when faith becomes action? In this episode, we journey through the first chapter of 1 Thessalonians, where Paul highlights how the Thessalonian believers lived out their faith, love, and hope despite challenges. We’re reminded of how the gospel brings not only words but life-changing power through the Holy Spirit, creating a faith that shines brightly for others to see. Together, we explore the remarkable impact a committed faith can have on a community, inspiring believers and non-believers alike.

As we dig into the look-fors and devotion takeaways, we’ll see how the Thessalonians’ faithfulness calls us to action today. Through their example, we understand the importance of living our beliefs, relying on the Spirit’s strength, and letting our lives be a witness for Christ. Paul’s message invites us to consider: How does our faith impact those around us?
