Paul's closing word for us as we wrap up this series on 1 Thesslonians is this: Live in Peace. Live in peace with God and with one another. Thankfully, that's not something that's left up to us. Instead, we rely on God working in us through his Word and by the power of the Holy Spirt.

It's easy to get complacent in our relationship with God knowing that he loves us unconditionally. But in 1 Thessalonians 4, Paul encourages us to live in a way that pleases God more and more.

This week as we celebrate our 6th Anniversary, we also start a new sermon series. We're looking at the Thessalonian congregation, because Paul calls them "a model for all the believers." Today we see how the Thessalonians turned from idols to serve the living and true God.
