Paul's prayer in 2 Thessalonians 1 is fueled by the truth that every believer will marvel in Christ on the day of His return. How did Paul intend for this prayer to spur the Thessalonians toward living with a God-glorifying hope? How does this promise shape the purpose for which we live our lives now?

In this fourth session through the historic themes of Advent, we examine love. How is love central to who God is? How has God demonstrated His love for humanity? Why is it essential for believers to bear the fruit of love within the Church and to the world?

What is joy? How and why is joy a central tenet of the Christian faith? How can we cultivate a deeper joy in our daily lives, even in the face of seemingly impossible obstacles?

What is peace? A brief survey of Scripture shows that the God of peace made peace with sinners through the Prince of Peace- Christ Jesus our Lord. The price of that peace was paid with the precious blood of the Prince himself. The peace he thus gives is the very peace He shared with the Father from eternity past. What implications should this have on believers?

In this first of four sessions, we will explore the meaning, weight, and glory of the blessed hope we share as believers. Using Titus 2 as the anchor text, we will look at how Paul calls believers to marvel at the past and future to cultivate hope in the present.

In this second part exploring 2 Timothy 4:6-8, we examine closer Paul's closing words to Timothy. We find this text to be both a challenge and a summons to live all of live with the good and glorious purpose of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever. What does Paul intend to tell Timothy with his final words?

2 Timothy 4:6-8 is both a challenge and a summons to live all of live with the good and glorious purpose of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever. How does the wider context of 2 Timothy help us take to heart Paul's enduring words?

Psalm 117 invites us to worship, explore, and meditate on the steadfast love and faithfulness of God. What impact should these truths have in the life of the believer? How should this psalm drive us to carry out the Great Commission?
