1 THESSALONIANS 1 | FAITH, HOPE & LOVE IN THE FACE OF PERSECUTION

Join Zach and Izzy for an exciting new Bible study series as they dive into 1 Thessalonians, exploring what it means to live out faith so radically that it transforms entire communities and spreads far beyond your own context. This episode unpacks 1 Thessalonians 1, looking at the powerful story of the early church in Thessalonica, a young community of believers who faced extreme persecution yet became known throughout the entire region for their faith, hope, and love.

Discover the backstory of Paul's mission to Thessalonica, how he was literally chased out of the city after preaching just three times, and why he felt compelled to write this letter of encouragement to a church he barely had time to establish. Zach and Izzy explore what it looks like to have joy in the midst of suffering, how faith produces work, love produces labor, and hope produces endurance, and why the early believers turned radically from idols to serve the living God.
