Podcasts about 1 thessalonians 2

In this powerful message, Samuel Goulet invites listeners to move from simply receiving in church to becoming spiritual fathers and mothers who help others grow in Christ. Using Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 4, he shows that true spiritual parenting is not about titles, recognition, or status—it is about sacrifice, endurance, humility, and love that keeps showing up. With humor, honesty, and stories from family life, Samuel challenges us to let the culture of Jesus overflow from our homes into the church, creating a community where people are pursued, encouraged, corrected in love, and strengthened to walk in the truth.

Are you living sacrificially toward others? Join Kelly as he looks at what was required of Paul and his companions as they ministered to the church in Thessalonica. In doing so, we find that the life of Christ in the believer leads us to live sacrificially toward those whom God would have us minister.www.instagram.com/thehishillpodcast/www.hishill.orgkelly@hishill.org

1 Thessalonians is a letter written by the apostle Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to a young church in Thessalonica. In it we see an important connection between those who have pioneered a work—and continue to pray for and encourage them—and those who stay and continue in this new ministry. In it we also learn practical truths of the Christian life, prayer, faith, purity, work, and of the hope we have in Jesus Christ!  Grab your Bible and prepare to be encouraged and strengthened as Jerry leads us through the book of 1 Thessalonians. And remember: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18)  You can also join Jerry every day, and take your daily Bible reading to another level with The New Testament Daily with Jerry Dirmann. LINKS:  « FREE MEDIA LIBRARY » To listen to or download more teachings from Jerry and others from Solid Lives ministries, visit our new media library at: https://app.jesusdisciple.com/jesus-way/media-library « THE NEW TESTAMENT DAILY PODCAST » https://thenewtestamentdailywithjerrydirmann.buzzsprout.com « SOLID LIVES » Find out more about the ministries of Jerry Dirmann and Solid Lives at https://www.solidlives.com/  « SUPPORT » You can help us get free resources like this out to more people.

This sermon emphasizes that following Jesus and sharing the Gospel will often bring spiritual opposition, but believers are called to remain faithful, stand strong, and trust in God's authority over every attack of the enemy. Through Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonian church, the message highlights the importance of loving the church, supporting one another, staying rooted in faith, and building strong Christian community through accountability and encouragement. Ultimately, a faithful church becomes a blessing and comfort to others by loving God deeply, loving people well, sharing the Gospel boldly, and growing in holiness and unity through Christ.

Main Point. God uses faithful gospel ministry to build his church. Driving Question. So what does a faithful gospel ministry look like? Paul gives three vivid pictures of faithful gospel the minister. 1. The Courageous Steward (1–6) Two Tests of Gospel Stewardship: A. Speaking to please God, not man (vv.4–5). B. Seeking God's glory, not yours (v.6). 2. The Caring Mother (7–8) 3. The Consistent Father (9–12) Takeaways. (Ordinary Gospel minister must): Accept Conflict (v.2). Live Sacrificially (vv.5–8). Proclaim Christ Clearly (vv.4, 9).

TODAY'S EPISODE: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Reading today's scriptures, we encounter a real tension — a contradiction, actually — in the telling of David's census in 2nd Samuel and 1st Chronicles. On the one hand, we read that God incites David to count the people, while on the other, it's Satan who prompts this act. Some might see this and grow uneasy, wondering if the Bible's trustworthiness is at stake. But the authority and inspiration of Scripture do not rest on it being a flaw-free reference manual. The Bible is doing something deeper, more profound; it is not, first and foremost, a technical record or a divine encyclopedia. The very presence of these apparent contradictions is a signpost that the Bible should be read on its own terms. If we try to explain away every factual inconsistency, we risk missing the greater narrative: the Bible is inviting us into God's living story, a relationship with the God who is love, mercy, and truth. These differing accounts are not weak links to be repaired, but rather an invitation to mature faith — a faith that can sit honestly with the complexity and humanity of God's Word. God's people have always recognized the scriptures as authoritative, not because every detail is seamless, but because the stories, the poems, the letters, and the teachings draw us into the divine life. They reveal what it means to belong to God, to live under his mercy, and to join his story of love. In both accounts of David's census, we are ultimately pointed toward God's mercy. The authors have their own reasons for telling the story as they do, reasons shaped by the needs of their particular communities. Yet together, these voices lead us to the same truth: it is God's mercy that triumphs. Christ is our authority. He authorizes the Bible to tell his story — a story that forms us as a people beloved by God. So read the Bible honestly, unafraid of its tensions and contradictions. Trust the Spirit to use every word, every story — even the complicated ones — to form you in the likeness of Jesus. Let Scripture draw you deeper into love, not into fearful denial or brittle certainty. God's Word is not just information; it is invitation — into community, into relationship, into love. That's my prayer for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and daughters and son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

What should the Christian expect from the world when the gospel of Christ is proclaimed? Join Kelly as he looks at 1 Thessalonians.www.instagram.com/thehishillpodcast/www.hishill.orgkelly@hishill.org

This week, Pastor Brad opens up the word to one of his favorite passages: 1 Thessalonians 2:3-12. This is a passage that the Lord has used to shape him in ministry, and he shares with us how God calls us to live in a worthy manner in light of his kingdom and glory, by being transparent, caring for others, being of the same character in public and in private, and calling others around us to live in the calling that God has called them to.  Brad challenges us to use these principles as a guide for our lives. If you're not already, what would it look like to make these principles YOUR guide? It is hard, but it is GOOD. This is what you were made for, and the life that God has called you to.  This sermon is from 5/10/2026

May 10, 2026 - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 by Grace Church of Mentor

This sermon from 1 Thessalonians 2 emphasizes that the Gospel still changes lives “one person” at a time, and Christians are called to actively pray for, love, invite, and share Jesus with those who need Him. Using Paul's example, the message teaches that reaching people for Christ often comes with sacrifice, opposition, and spiritual warfare, but believers must continue with pure hearts, bold faith, and trust in the transforming power of God's Word. Ultimately, the sermon encourages the church to live lives worthy of the Gospel, support missions and evangelism, and remain confident that God will protect, empower, and use them to reach “one more” for Jesus.

Program for 05/08/26 Covenant Community Church: Mother's Day, 1 Thessalonians 2

Zach, Scott, and John walk through an especially challenging section of this letter to properly understand.

Real ministry is not built on polished content... it is built when we are willing to share our very selves. In this roadside reflection episode, Kara finally shares what Fred and her recent writing project has been (with Ascension Press) and reflects on a personal passage from St. Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:8–9: “So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves…” This conversation dives into vulnerability, discipleship, authentic ministry, loving others even when it is difficult, and what it means to hope for others. Also, the audio quality is a little different this episode. Life and family obligations have made studio recording difficult lately, so I pray this “roadside reflections” is okay! Enjoy some Brother Francis and Veggie Tales in the background.
