1 Thessalonians square

Prepare your heart for our Sunday Morning Gathering by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together.

You will find tangible suggestions for putting scripture to action in your personal life and in our corporate body, links to the songs we will sing, and lyrics for you to prepare for our corporate singing.

Please see the Preparing for the Sermon post for suggestions in thinking more critically through the passage, meditating more intently on the text, and prayerfully seeking wisdom to deepen your understanding of the passage to be preached this Sunday.

Intentionally Act

  • Read 1 Thessalonians 4:1-2 again.
  • How do you receive instruction from God’s word? How do you receive the preaching and explanation of God’s word?
  • Are you satisfied with your level of obedience to the Lord or do you sense the exhortation to “excel still more”? Is there a specific command from Scripture you’re being convicted about?
  • Consider how you could use this passage to encourage another believer or in your witness to someone who doesn’t know the Lord. Make plans to do so.
  • Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; practice the songs, study the lyrics and sing together.
  • Pray for those leading our corporate gathering this week and for the Holy Spirit’s work as the Word of God is further explained and applied: Dawson Bryant: music; Mark Krystyniak: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
