The book of 1 Thessalonians was written by Paul to the young church in Thessalonica, which he founded but was kicked out of town shortly after it began. Paul wrote the letter not just to encourage the Thessalonians, who were young in their faith, but to answer their questions: How should Christians sexually conduct themselves? What happens to Christians when they die? What will happen when Jesus returns?
1 Thessalonians answers questions we have about the end of the world and living for Jesus in a postmodern society.
This book was taught as a sermon series at CrossWinds Church in Spirit Lake, IA. The chapters correspond to the messages of the series. They include everything that was said on Sunday. I pray the book transports you back in time to the day the messages were delivered and that Jesus applies the word of God to your heart, shaping you to be more like Jesus.
