Outloud Bible Podcast - 1 Thessalonians 1-3: Growth you can't see

Send us a message!We read 1 Thessalonians 1–3 and listen to Paul’s relief when he learns the Thessalonian believers are still standing strong under persecution. We connect Paul’s long-distance concern to our own relationships and remember that God, not us, brings real spiritual growth. • Paul’s rushed departure from Thessalonica and why it worries him • Encouragement for new believers enduring pressure and affliction • The Thessalonians’ faith, love, and hope as visible fruit • Paul’s ministry integrity, refusing flattery, greed, and people pleasing • Gentle spiritual parenting, sharing the gospel and our lives • Timothy’s role in strengthening faith when Paul cannot be present • Letting go of the pressure to control someone else’s growth  At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.
