Only One Love To Give
Evidence of the gospel's power in a person's life is found not only in the presence of things that were not formerly there, such as faith and hope, but also in the diminishing presence and elimination of things that don't belong. John writes in his first epistle that we are to not love the world or the things in the world (1 John 2:15-17). This message takes a look at what John meant, and why our love for God necessarily calls us to escape the idolatries that come with loving the things of this life.

Ecclesiastes 3
This week Solomon looks at the transient nature of life. Everything comes and goes, everything has its season and time, and nothing ever stays the same. Change is constant. And as we try to live in a constantly changing world, we find ourselves grasping for control, hoping that something can be made permanent. Solomon says the attempt is futile... How can the gospel bring hope to our futility and set us free from our need for control?

We Study to Remember
What goes through the mind of an apostle? We can never know for certain - aside aside from what is written in the Bible that is. Yet what we have in the Bible is only "half" of the conversation. In other words, we think so much more than we speak or write. Yet by looking at the text of 1 Thessalonians, taking insights from the historical background of the first century, and considering information contained in the book of Acts, we can deduce some concerns Paul may have had about the young "church" in Thessalonica.
