St. Paul offers final instructions and encouragements to the Thessalonian believers, urging them to respect their leaders, live in peace, and care for one another. He emphasizes the importance of rejoicing always, praying continually, and giving thanks in all circumstances, as these are God's will in Christ Jesus. Paul also advises them not to quench the Spirit or despise prophecies but to test everything and hold on to what is good.
The Rev. Chris Matthis, pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28.
In 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica to encourage and instruct them amidst persecution. In 1 Thessalonians, he commends their faith, love, and hope, offers guidance on living a holy life, and reassures them about the fate of believers who have died, emphasizing the hope of the resurrection and Christ’s return. In 2 Thessalonians, Paul addresses misunderstandings about the Day of the Lord, urging believers not to be misled by false teachings and to stand firm in their faith. He also offers practical advice on handling idleness and continuing to live responsibly while awaiting Christ's return. Join us as we explore the themes of faith, hope, and perseverance in these compelling letters.
