    Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 4:1–12, where Paul calls believers to please God by walking in ongoing holiness.

    1 Thessalonians 3:8-13 Dr Kurt Owens
    Feb 9 2026
    Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 3:8-13 detailing how Paul hears the church is still standing in the Lord and it puts life back in him—so he can’t help but pour out gratitude and joy for their faithfulness (3:8–9). And he doesn’t stop there: he turns that gratitude into a prayer for growth—that God would bring them together, make their love overflow “for one another and for all."

    Feb 1 2026
    Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive in 1 Thessalonians 3:1-7 where we see Testing through Tribulation and the Testimony of True Faith woven together. Unable to return, Paul sends Timothy to strengthen and encourage the church so they won’t be shaken by trials he had already told them to expect. That testing is real, but the report back is brighter: their faith and love endure, and they long for Paul as he longs for them.

    Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 2:13-20 highlighting how it is when God’s Word truly takes root, it produces affliction for the Word—a cross-shaped endurance even when our own people push back. And it stirs affection for the church—a longing to be face to face, where people themselves become our hope, joy, and crown before Jesus.

    1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 - Dr. Kimara Ellefson
    Jan 11 2026
    Dr. Kimara Ellefson takes us on a walk through 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10, inviting us to recognize the call for believers to live in a posture of waiting for the Son - looking forward to the day when He will make all things right again - and yet to live in active obedience in the present. Rather than idly sit by, our active faith, love, and hope will reflect Jesus to the world around us, that the gospel could ring forth in our spaces, just as the Thessalonians witnessed in their day.
