1 John reads like a sermon more than a letter. But why write it in the first place?

SECRET KNOWLEDGE | 1 John | Ep. 1 27.10.2021 16:24 ↓

Author, audience, and purpose. You need to know these about anything you read, especially when you're reading Holy Scripture written 2000 years ago on the other side of the planet in a language you probably don't know.

STOP MOOCHING! | 2 Thessalonians 3.6-18 | Ep. 15 20.10.2021 21:50 ↓

Prayer Really Does Work | 2 Thessalonians 3.1-5 | Ep. 14 13.10.2021 16:54 ↓

Paul asks for prayer from a bunch of new Christians? Why? And how does that give us the courage to overcome our anxiety?

First the antichrist must come | 2 Thessalonians 2.1-12 | Ep. 12 29.09.2021 23:39 ↓

What's going to happen before Jesus returns? That seems to be a common question nowadays. In today's scripture, we look at answering that question as best we can.

We're starting Paul's second letter to the church in Thessalonica. 

Learn Your ABC's | 1 Thessalonians 5.12-28 | Ep. 10 08.09.2021 20:28 ↓

Learning your first language was easy (probably). Learning a new language is work. In the last passages from Paul's letter, he spells out some way Christians need to learn how to act.

'When Will Jesus Return?' is the Wrong Question. | 1 Thessalonians 5.1-11 | Ep. 9 01.09.2021 18:59 ↓

Last week we looked at how Jesus's impending return will affect the dead. This week we look at how it affects the living.

What Happens When We Die? | 1 Thessalonians 4.13-18 | Ep. 8 25.08.2021 14:03 ↓

The Thessalonians expected to be alive when Jesus returned and were concerned for their Christian brother and sisters who had already dies. Death and the end times are confusing enough, but these early believers didn't have a Bible to study to find their answers. So Paul provides one for them.

Spend Your Money | 1 Thessalonians 4.9-12 | Ep.7 18.08.2021 28:06 ↓

Paul tells the church how to spend its money, and we can learn a lot from his instructions.

Sexual Holiness (Parental Advisory) | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 | Ep. 6 11.08.2021 30:05 ↓

Chapter 4 deals with 3 major topics for the believer; sex, money, and death. This week, we look at what it means to live sexually holy lives. Parents, this is your warning. There's nothing graphic, be we do discuss some topics that you might find uncomfortable to listen to with young children.

He Couldn't Do Nothing! | 1 Thessalonians 3 | Ep. 5 28.07.2021 27:33 ↓

Paul knew the church he had fathered was suffering, but he couldn't go to them to help. He had to do something. This week we look at why he sent Timothy and what Timothy said about this church when he returned.

That Storm Came Out of Nowhere | 1 Thessalonians 2:13-20 | Ep. 4 21.07.2021 27:57 ↓

Things are not all sunshine and rainbows in Thessalonica since Paul left, but you might think that up to this point in the letter. Here Paul addresses the storms that have hit and tells the church how to deal with them.

Haters Gonna Hate | 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 | Ep. 3 14.07.2021 21:30 ↓

Paul wasn't the first preacher to roll into town. Those who came before him had a bad habit of abusing, using, manipulating, and robbing their listeners. Paul was different, but that didn't stop the haters. 

They Did Well | 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 | Ep. 2 23.06.2021 17:13 ↓

The Thessalonians did it right, even though they didn't get to hear everything they should have and were also immediately thrown to the lions (maybe literally.) In this week's episode, we look at Paul's first words to this incredible group of Christians since he was run out of town several months earlier.
