17 August 2025 - 1 Thessalonians Series: Chapter 3

1 Thessalonians Series - Chapter 3: Faith that Speaks with Love In this message, Justin Cook unpacks 1 Thessalonians 3 and shows us what it means to have a faith that speaks with love. Drawing from Paul’s deep longing for the Thessalonians, we’re reminded that we are better together—that following Jesus means loving God and loving people in community. Justin highlights how Paul sent Timothy to both establish (set people on the right path with grace and truth) and encourage (cheer them on to keep going). We’re called to do the same: to be a Timothy for others, and to invite Timothys into our own lives. We also see that while troubles and trials are guaranteed, our testimonies become powerful weapons of encouragement and victory. As Paul closes with prayer, we’re challenged to let our love for one another grow and overflow, so that Jesus is glorified when we speak grace and truth in love. This message will inspire you to strengthen, encourage, and love people well—because we truly are better together.
