Book: 1 Thessalonians

When you read old letters sent to a loved one you can read between the lines and get the context of what’s been happening. You can see the different event experienced, the emotions shared, and their desires. As we read Paul’s letter to the Thessalonian church it has been abundantly clear that Paul LOVES the people of this church. Do you love your church? Do you love the people of Harvest Bible Chapel Fairfax?

The word, establish, could be defined as, set up on a firm or permanent base. This is an important time for our church to be established in God’s Word. With God’s Word as our foundation we will remain unshaken.

In times of turmoil perspective can be reassuring. In 1 Thessalonians 2, the apostle Paul is reassuring the church that they are not alone. The church today can benefit from this perspective as we face uncertain times. 

In 1 Thessalonians 2:9-12 Paul continues to set the example of how we can represent Christ well as we serve him. We want to be good stewards of Jesus name as we seek to share the gospel with the world around us. 

Harvest Bible Chapel is grounded in Jesus Christ and built upon four pillars. The first pillar is Unapologetic Preaching. We want to proclaim the authority of God’s Word without apology. 1 Thessalonians 2 has a message for those doing the preaching. Pastor Jeff challenges us to always be in prayer for the men God has called to lead us.

We’re living in uncertain times under the weight and pressure of a culture of immorality and ungodliness  that’s increasingly hostile towards the values of the Kingdom of Christ. As we start our new series in the book of 1 Thessalonians we will see what it takes to be prepared for whatever this fallen world might have to offer. We know that with a strong foundation in the hope of the gospel we will be UNSHAKEN.
