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."

Reading plan
