Letting Go of Your Idols


Hey Reader,

I hope you’re ready for another week of learning, growing, and strengthening your faith as we continue our journey through Thessalonians!

If you missed last week’s teaching, we explored the Thessalonian church and how Christ transformed their beliefs, which leads us into this week’s lesson on 1 Thessalonians Chapter 2. If you haven’t watched it yet, you can catch up here before we continue the challenge tomorrow.

As a quick reminder, the teachings go live on YouTube every Tuesday at 7 am EST through May 5th. You can also use the calendar button below to set a reminder so you don’t miss it.

It’s also not too late to follow along with the Still Standing Thessalonians Study Guide. This workbook will help you stay focused each week as we unpack God’s Word and apply it to our lives.

This past week, as we walked through 1 Thessalonians 1, something really special happened. So many of you shared honestly in the chat about the idols you’re recognizing in your own lives. It’s been a powerful reminder that growth often begins with vulnerability.
