Watch the video with your group.
Here's some questions to guide your discussion.
1 Thessalonians 2:13-16
What are your “first world” problems?
Read 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16.
What is the reason for the church's growth and maturity (see 1 Thess 2:13)?
If the Living Word of God (the Bible) is necessary for Spiritual Growth, why do we struggle with letting it grab our hearts and/or attention?
How can God’s Word help you during times of opposition? How has it helped you before?
In verse 14, he says they became “imitators of God’s churches” in Judea. In 1 Thess 1:6 the talks about how they imitated the apostles and the Lord. How does this sharpen your understanding of imitating others for the sake of becoming like Jesus? What churches/Christians around the world inspire you? Why?
Read v. 16. Romans 12:19 says that God will avenge those who have been treated wrong by this world. Does this truth satisfy you? Do you think Christians in Iran or Egypt are satisfied that the Lord will avenge them for the wrong that was done to them and their families?
How can this passage help you grow in your faith? How can it help you love Jesus? Explain to the group.
