UNSHAKEN: A Letter to the Thessalonians (Lesson 6 - Unshakable Hope)
Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - 1 Thessalonians 4 & 5 (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:1-13; John 5:28-29; 14:3; 1 Corinthians 15:52; Matthew 24:40-42; 1 Peter 5:8; Hebrews 10:25)
We have hope that cannot be described in words. No matter what happens or how things fall apart, nothing can take away our hope of heaven. Paul shares this hope with this new church to give peace in hard times. Jesus made them and us a promise that He is coming again and death would not be the end for us....this gives us HOPE!
Series description:
During Paul's missionary journeys, God was doing some amazing things in the lives of new believers. The church was growing and spreading, but so was the opposition against the church. The church in Thessalonica was under extreme opposition, but they stood strong and continued to flourish.
Paul writes them a powerful letter to encourage them and give them hope. This letter is called Thessalonians. It is a letter on how to hold on and remain unshaken in the midst of challenging times.
