Gift for the God Who Has Everything | Held By Hope: Formed in Faith, Laboring in Love

Held By Hope is a sermon series based on the book of 1 Thessalonians. In this message, Dr. Christina Edmondson teaches from 1 Thessalonians 4:1–12.In this message, we explore what it means to give a gift to the God who has everything—a God who lacks nothing yet lovingly invites us to live in a way that pleases Him. Paul celebrates the Thessalonians for their shockingly good perseverance and super grateful faith, while encouraging them to keep growing more and more in holiness, love, and diligence. As followers of Jesus, we are called to use our bodies, relationships, work, and influence to honor God and love others, becoming a life that is well pleasing to Him.
