Love God Greatly: 1 & 2 Thessaloniansনমুনা
Read: 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13
SOAP: 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
Timothy’s report that the church at Thessalonica continued to thrive brought joyful thanksgiving to Paul. He had invested many hours in praying for the growth and well-being of these new believers. The cry of Paul’s heart was for these disciples to establish their hearts in a pure faith that was evidenced by their love for one another.
If you were on trial for being a Christian today, would your love for others stand as proof of your faith? Linking arms with others as we follow after Christ builds up our faith. Just as Paul was encouraged by the choices of these disciples in Thessalonica, you can shower a sister in Christ with love and help her stand stronger in her faith.
Lord God, I want to stand strong in my faith. Establish my heart and help me to love more like Jesus every day. Amen.

About this Plan
In the books of 1st & 2nd Thessalonians, you meet a church who are going through some storms. Severe persecution is threatening their lives, and they are clinging to the promise that Jesus is coming back. This promise is from the Promise Keeper…He IS coming back. The Thessalonians had to learn to live with this hope as they lived their lives in the now.
