Join us for the first week of our new series Troublemaker: The Hard Sayings of Jesus. Today, Pastor Brandon takes us to Luke 14:25-35 and Jesus' claim that no one can be his disciple who doesn't give up everything.

Recently, Pastor Brandon had the opportunity to travel to Istanbul to learn from and encourage a group of Iranian Christians at Words of Hope's Persian discipleship conference.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

The first three chapters of 1 Thessalonians are all about thanksgiving for the Thessalonians' faith in spite of persecution. In these chapters, we learn what the best thing and worst thing a person can do are.

This Sunday we began a new series in 1 Thessalonians. Today, we take a look at how the Thessalonian church began in the book of Acts.
