This week, we continue our series in the letters to the Thessalonians as Julian explores 1 Thessalonians 2:13–3:13 and the importance of standing together as a church family. He considers how healthy Christian fellowship and being present for one another—sharing each other’s burdens and allowing others to share ours—strengthen our faith. He asks: who can you talk to?
This week, Ben unpacked Paul and Silas’s sufferings and his deep, motherly heart for the Thessalonian church. We reflected on Eileen’s powerful journey of spiritual motherhood, exploring what it looks like to cultivate joy, open communication, and value every child in our community. Ultimately, we were reminded of God's heart as both Father and Mother, and our shared call to step into spiritual parenthood together.
This week we explore how the miracle of God’s sovereign grace frees us from the exhaustion of performance-based striving. Discover how stepping off the treadmill of human approval empowers us to be radically authentic and genuinely love others in their brokenness. Join us as we celebrate being chosen by grace, called by name, and freed from people, for people.
In this opening message on 1 Thessalonians 1:1, we kick off our series exploring what it means to live as an "Upside Down Family." Paul, Silas, and Timothy write to a young church in Thessalonica, demonstrating how gospel team ministry and a shared identity in God reshape how we belong to one another. Discover how the local church is called to counter-cultural living, anchored in grace, peace, and the supernatural bonds of God's kingdom family.
