This week we start a look at the kings of Israel and Judah from the Biblical account. We start with Solomon at the height of Israel’s kingdom before the division of the kingdom. Solomon’s life is a challenge to every believer to live a life of devotion to the Lord.

This morning we reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection and see the union we have as believers in Christ allowing us to freedom from sin and victory over death in this new life.

Christian living is sometimes a fuzzy idea that isn’t as clear as we would like, often it seems like an out of focus photograph. As we draw 1 Thessalonians to a close, we look at Paul’s final section of exhortations to proper Christian living, we see three quick snapshots that help us see in focus.

Paul follows the discussion of the rapture with reminding the Thessalonians that they need live as believers expecting Jesus’ return.

This morning we look at a familiar passage of hope and comfort and the next major event for the church universal, Christ’s return and the calling of the church to heaven and home.

A look at the sixth I Am saying from John’s Gospel this morning as we see not only Jesus’ declaration of deity, but also a promise of comfort for the believer.

Continuing our study of 1 Thessalonians, we begin chapter 4 this week. Chapters 4 and 5 is where Paul addresses areas this young church needed to grow in their faith, in their love, in their personal holiness. These are some of the things that he commented on "lacking in their faith" in 3:10.

As we continue working through 1 Thessalonians, we look into chapter 3 as we look and see the need to grow and stand in our faith.

As we continue to study 1 Thessalonians, we look at how Paul’s ministry with the Thessalonians is a pattern for how every Christian should minister.

This morning we continue our mini-series of Jesus’ great I Am statements from the Gospel of John, by looking at Jesus’ declaration of being the source of the resurrection and life.
