What should the local church look like in real life, not just on paper? In 1 Thessalonians 5:13b–22, Paul gives a series of practical instructions that show believers how to live out their faith in community so the world can see the true heart of Christ through His people.

In this message, Pastor Tim unpacks these powerful verses with one aim in mind: to call the church back to a vibrant, visible faith. From pursuing peace to encouraging the fainthearted, from resisting evil to rejoicing always, God paints a picture of a church that is alive, awake and actively displaying His love.

If you have ever wondered what it looks like to be part of a church that reflects the light of Jesus, this passage gives the blueprint. And every believer has a part to play.

Be encouraged, be challenged and be reminded that when the people of God live out these instructions, the world sees a glimpse of the hope they desperately need.

Listen in and let the Word reshape your vision of what church can be.
