Love God Greatly: 1 & 2 ThessaloniansSample
Read: 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4
SOAP: 2 Thess.1:3-4
Paul commends the believers in Thessalonica for their spiritual progress. His heart is overflowing with thankfulness to God because His prayers for the young fellowship have been answered. He sees strong evidence of a thriving church because of their steadfast faith in God in the midst of affliction and their loving service to one another.
Do you celebrate the spiritual progress of your sisters in Christ? Rather than focus on negative examples and people who disappoint us, we should affirm people who are making healthy choices to follow after God. We should also examine our own hearts to see if we are growing in faith and love.
Lord, I want my faith in You to grow. Help me love others selflessly and follow after You steadfastly. 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.
