A Walk With Friends

Paul is writing the new believers, encouraging them in the faith and reminding them of God's call on their lives on how to live as they look forward to Jesus' return. To live set apart in a culture that at that time was facing rampant sexual immorality. To not live like the gentiles do but to live a sanctified life that honors God. Paul urges the believers to grow more and more in love and aspiration to lead a quiet life to be walk properly toward those who are outside of Christ, showing that they lack nothing. Paul also answers some questions the new believers have about the return of Christ.

We continue in the Apostle Paul's epistle (letter) to the new believers in Thessolonica. Paul explains why he sent Timothy. Timothy a young follower of Christ, makes the journey to bring encouragement and comfort. Upon Timothy's return, Paul writes this letter and expresses how he longs to see them again. 

Now in Rome, Paul flees persecution from the greek gentiles who worshipped pagan gods and the jews clinging to their traditional faith. Paul sends Timothy back to Thessolonica to check on the believers there calling them the "eklessia' in chapter one. In Paul's love and concern for them Timothy goes to Thessolonica to find out how they are doing, what questions they have and to encourage them in their faith. As Timothy gets back to Paul with good report of the new converts in Thessolonica, Paul writes them a letter. This is where we are finding ourselves, in the beginning portion of Paul's letter to these new believers. Let's jump in!

Have you ever wondered what Paul's ministry looked like after his radical conversion from persecuting Christians, to encountering Jesus and his entire life being changed for the gospel of Jesus Christ? We dive deep into context and history to better understand Paul's first epistle and find out. Thessalonians are letters written by Paul to new believers. How exciting to find out how Paul evangelized in the Roman republic. 

 My prayer for my listeners is we become lovers of God's Word and study ourselves to be approved. Thank you all for joining this deep dive and walking through the Word with me on the podcast. Enjoy!

The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book.  But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

 John 20: 30-31

The rooster crows three times, Jesus' disciples are scattering and Pilate asks Jesus, "what is truth?". All while the jewish leaders are determined to have Jesus killed by the Romans. 

For Himself, For His Disciples and for future believers, Jesus prayed.
