"Have you made time for God today?" This simple yet profound question opens a journey into our nation's soul and the daily choices that reveal our true priorities. What we give our attention to—be it social media, television, work, or worship—speaks volumes about what we truly value.The American Soul Podcast examines how abandoning unchanging Christian standards has led our society to judge one another based on superficial traits rather than character and merit. Drawing parallels between tribal conflicts in Africa and our own divisions, host Jesse Cope argues that our experiment in self-governance only succeeds when founded upon principles that transcend race, ethnicity, and tribal allegiance.Through a thoughtful exploration of First Thessalonians and Daniel Webster's historic Plymouth Oration of 1820, we're reminded that America was explicitly founded as part of "the Christian world"—a fact often obscured in modern discourse. Webster's powerful condemnation of the slave trade as incompatible with Christian principles offers a sobering parallel to our current moral challenges, particularly abortion.Most compelling is the episode's meditation on legacy. What proof will future generations have of our reverence for America and love for Christ? Are we keeping journals for our children? Teaching scripture? Caring for the vulnerable? As Webster welcomed future Americans to "the immortal hope of Christianity and the light of everlasting truth," we must ask ourselves what inheritance we're preserving for those who come after us.The path to national renewal isn't primarily political but spiritual, beginning with individuals and families before extending to communities and institutions. Only by returning to the foundation of Christ's teachings can we reclaim the blessings of good governance, domestic happiness, and true learning that our founders envisioned.Cast your eyes toward heaven, and join us in seeking first the Kingdom of God. Together, we can rediscover America's soul.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

People matter.​ Listen to part one of two in this sermon from 1 Thessalonians 2:17–3:10 and learn more about this preaching series here.

As Paul continues to draw attention to the work accomplished while he, Silas, and Timothy were in Thessalonica, he uses the imagery of a mother and father to help the Thessalonians remember the example set for them. Affection and truth are two inseparable characteristics of their ministry.

There's a cost to receiving the Word, and there's a cost to resisting the Word. Which cost do you want to pay? Listen to this week’s sermon from 1 Thessalonians 2 and learn more about the series here.

Paul set an example for the Thessalonians during his visit. What was it that helped him act appropriately amid resistance and persecution? It was his knowledge of how God was at work.

Pastor Ben Smith preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5 on how to strengthen and exhort the church to stand firm against the attacks of Satan.The passion of God's servants must be to strengthen and exhort the church to stand firm against the attacks of Satan. Verses 17-20 of chapter 2 express Paul's lament that he was forced to leave the church shortly after they had come to faith and his great desire to return and be with them again. This is more than a recounting of events; it is likely a defense against those attempting to deceive the church by discrediting Paul and accusing him of abandoning them. Acts 17:1-10 describes how a hostile mob attacked the home of one of the first Thessalonian Christians named Jason, who believed that he was harboring Paul and the others in his house. Jason's life was spared only after he put up a financial surety bond that Paul and those with him would leave the city. In these final verses of chapter 2, Paul makes clear that he indeed loves the church (17) and has only stayed away because of Satan's opposition (18). Verses 19 and 20 encourage the church that Christ will return, and on that day, there will be great rejoicing in all who have received the gift of salvation. We are reminded that the chapter divisions are not part of the original text, with the division between chapters two and three. These first verses of chapter 3 are not a new idea but a continuation of the verses that precede it. Paul indicates that his desire to minister to the young Christians was so great that he sent Timothy to them even at great personal cost and suffering (3:1-2a). In chapter three, verse 2, we have the key verse for this passage. Timothy was sent to establish and exhort the church in their faith that they might stand firm against the temptation of Satan.The question that we consider with this passage is:What does the church need to stand firm against the attacks of Satan? This passage teaches two ministries that help the church stand firm in the faith.1. Work to establish and strengthen the church.2. Exhort the church to obedience.Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Sermon preached 2/23/2025.Books and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon notes are available at http://bensmithsr.org/resources.For more information on Central Baptist Church, visit www.cbcwaycross.org.
