After a 13-week journey, Pastor Marc Sharp discusses the close of 1st Thessalonians. In this letter to the believers at Thessalonica, Paul has reconnected with the Thessalonians, shared his ongoing love for them, commended them for their spiritual progress and love for one another, as well as the example they are setting for the other believers in their region. They have a lot to consider, so Paul selects his final words carefully. If he were to give them one more spiritual “to do” item, they may become overwhelmed. But if he doesn’t keep holiness before them as the goal, they could start to conform to the culture around them. Sound familiar?
