Solitude Series: First Thessalonians

You long to study God's Word. You keep telling yourself you'll make time for it and really do it right. But maybe you don't have time to commit yourself to the longer books of the Bible, to reading the commentaries, or to looking up references. Solitude Series: First Thessalonians may be the ideal place to start. This study of First Thessalonians, only five chapters long, is especially designed for the busy believer. Paul and Timothy, Silas, and Luke visited the city of Thessalonica, where their preaching and teaching led to the establishment of a new church. Driven from the city because of their seemingly radical beliefs and activities, the four were forced to flee for their lives. First Thessalonians is Paul's letter to the church at Thessalonica, written after Timothy returned to visit the new believers and reported to him the people's questions and concerns. Solitude Series: First Thessalonians is divided into five devotionals a week for fourteen weeks. Each chapter is outlined to help guide your thinking, and space is provided at the end of each passage to add your own responses and insights. In your time of study, you will discover the depth of Paul's commitment to the congregation at Thessalonica and how he continued to shepherd and nurture those new to the faith, even from a distance. Whether you use it in your private devotional time or with a study group, Solitude Series: First Thessalonians will encourage you to develop consistency in reading God's Word.
