As Paul begins to bring I Thessalonians to a close, he instructs us to not quench the Spirit. Are we able to quench the Spirit of God, and if so, how? Today, we look at who the Spirit is, how we quench the Spirit, and the impact it has on our lives.

Simple instructions that are easy enough for a kindergarten classroom. Yet they are instructions that continue to confound us as adults. This week, we look at simple words to help maintain peace within the body of Christ.

Instead of trying to fit this text into some prescribed eschatology, we'll just take a look at the text and let the words speak for themselves.

One of the topics we have the most questions about is death and dying. The Biblical Worldview doesn't leave us alone to figure it out. In fact, Paul goes to great lengths to set our minds at ease about these questions.

Brotherly love may not be what you're thinking when you see Paul's list of how you can show love for one another. One of the greatest things we can do is make sure we're taking care of ourselves so the church can focus on those who truly need it.

The culture of Thessalonica was not altogether different from our culture - especially regarding sex and sexuality. While there was nothing Paul could do about the pattern of the world, he did have the right to speak to the people of God about holiness regarding these matters.
