Intentionally Act
- How would you title each of these three verses? Use one word per verse.
- Consider 1:1-2 and 3:16-18. What similarities do you see? Repeated words or ideas?
- As Paul closes with these brief words of prayer and blessing what other prayers has Paul offered on behalf of the Thessalonians in this letter?
- 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; Rob Stouffer: elder prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
