Grace Nuggets

Today, we look at 1 Thessalonians 1:7-8 and the importance for the believer to be responding to God's Word, even in the face of persecution and suffering, that we may be examples of encouragement and a clear testimony to both the unbeliever and the believer.

Today, we look at 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5 and Paul reminding the Thessalonian believers of their election by God as being chosen by Him for their ministry even in the midst of persecutions.

Today, we look at 1 Thessalonians 1:3 and the basis for Paul's thankfulness for the believers at Thessalonica: their work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope.

In this episode, we begin our study of 1 Thessalonians looking at 1:1-2 and Paul's constant prayer for them and his desire of grace and peace for the local assembly.

Today, we start a new series on Paul's letters to the Thessalonians (1st and 2nd). Both letters provide encouragement to look for and wait for the Lord's return for the Church, and also provide clarity on the Rapture and the Day of the Lord.

Today, we finish up our study of the book of Romans. In the final chapter, Paul calls out those believers who labor with him for the gospel of Jesus Christ and have been an encouragement to him.

Today, we finish up Romans 15 with Paul expressing his desire to see the believers at Rome and explaining his ministry to the Gentiles.

Today we look at Romans 15:8-12 and God's desire to bless the Gentiles as well. It is important to remember that the promises and covenants of the Old Testament were given to Israel, not the Gentiles. But in the Body of Christ, Jew and Gentile possess equal standing and blessings.

Today, we start our study of Romans 15 and Paul's admonition for us to be likeminded in Christ toward one another in love.

We conclude our study of Romans 14 with the question of are we allowing our liberties to cause other believers to be offended and stumble?
