I Thessalonians 1:10-11

Scripture was originally designed to be a communal experience and that's the intention of this plan. "Re:New" uses Biblica's newest Bible translation called "The Books of the Bible"with the hope of offering a fresh and renewed experience with scripture. These videos offer observations on Colossians 1 by walking through 3 very basic questions.

Paul’s encouraging letter to the Thessalonian church is a beautiful treatise on unity, sanctification, and the coming of Christ. 1 Thessalonians reminds us to remain sober and steadfast, hopefully anticipating the return of the Lord.

Waiting is hard for everyone. In 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Paul addresses a community restless for Jesus' return. But he doesn't tell the church when Jesus will be back. Instead, he offers guidance on how to make the most of our time on earth while waiting for his return.

During this time of year, it’s a wonderful opportunity to reflect on your blessings, show kindness to others, and maintain your focus on the promise of tomorrow. Let hope flourish in every aspect of your life, not just during this season but throughout all seasons! We hope you enjoy this devotional and that your faith, hope, and love for God continue to grow!
