In 1 Thessalonians, we get a window into the relational disciple-making model of the Apostle Paul. We find him writing a letter to a newly planted church that he had to prematurely depart before his work with them was complete. We get a glimpse into the time he spent with them, the deposit of truth he left behind, and the essential truths he wanted to make sure they didn’t miss. As he writes, he is strengthening them for effective partnership in the advancement of the gospel to the ends of the earth. We pray this study prepares you to take your next steps as a disciple of Jesus in the mission of God to the ends of the earth.​

"Our series vision is that we would develop and direct every relationship for the sake of making disciples and planting churches of Jesus Christ."

  • Proclaim Jesus: Develop our relationship with God through life-altering confidence in his powerful gospel. 
     

  • Equip Servants: Develop our relationship with one another through brotherly love as gospel communities. 
     

  • Send Witnesses: Develop our relationship with the lost of our region through intentional witness as gospel teams.

Prayerful and Practical Evangelism | Dr. Vince Vitale

Often, it can feel challenging to evangelize — knowing where to begin or how to enter into conversations about faith. Dr. Vince Vitale explores how Christ's approach and dedication to conversation led people to the truth, and how we can do the same by following His model with the help of the Holy Spirit. You can hear more from Dr. Vitale at [kardiaquestions.com](https://www.kardiaquestions.com/). Kardia is a ministry that seeks to broaden and deepen our understanding of apologetics - reconciling hearts not only to God, but also to others and even ourselves. Dr. Vince Vitale was educated at Princeton University and the University of Oxford, and he taught philosophy and theology as a faculty member briefly at Princeton and then for several years at Oxford. It was during his undergraduate studies at Princeton that Vince was challenged to read the Bible by two soccer teammates and took an unexpected journey from skeptic to evangelist. He then completed master’s and PhD studies at Oxford, receiving a Daniel M. Sachs Graduating Scholarship (at the time awarded annually to one graduating Princetonian) and a Clarendon Scholarship (supported by Oxford University Press). Alongside his work with Kardia, Vince serves as Faculty Scholar at CEO Forum and as a host of the Unbelievable? podcast. Previously, he served as Team Director of The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics.

1-2 Thessalonians: The Bible Explained

1-2 Thessalonians: The Bible Explained

Watch our Introduction video on the books of 1-2 Thessalonians, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. Paul's two letters to the Thessalonians talk more explicitly about Jesus' second coming than, perhaps, any of Paul's other letters. That's because these believers were oppressed, persecuted, and especially needed the hope of Jesus' return. Jesus would not only return to heal and restore them but also bring justice against those oppressing them. We're praying these two letters lead you to put your hope in Jesus' return too. Credits (in order of appearance): Jesus: Danny Varghese Main Greek: Kyle Jones Greek 1: Eileen McClure Greek 2: LJ Gaines Jr. Paul: William Frazier Timothy: Ryker Sixkiller Rabbi: Raymond Lopeman Jew 1: Ayomide "Sam" Babalola Jew 2: Garrett O'Brien Special thanks to Oklahoma Christian University for allowing us to use their facilities for this production. --- About Spoken Gospel: Spoken Gospel is a non-profit digital media ministry committed to fostering transformative Bible engagement by producing creative videos that help people see and savor the good news of Jesus on every page of the Bible. We are wanting to make introduction videos for every book of the Bible using spoken word poetry to tell the story.
