1st Thessalonians – The Word Working in You – 2007
The primary focus of Paul’s epistles to the Thessalonians, written A.D. 50–51, is Christian living in light of eternity, which results in balance. The “bookends” of 1Th 1:3 and 1Th 5:8 reveal the book’s theme—the well-balanced Christian life. The book also teaches that God’s Word works through faith. Interestingly, this epistle is closely related in content to the Old Testament book of Ruth, which provides a perfect biblical illustration of the practical truths of this book.
This conference was recorded in Western PA in October 2007. .

One Mission. Crown of Righteousness (2Ti 4:8) -- longing for His appearing. Mat 16:18 "I will build my Church" -- Joh 4:24. (1) Our mission (Mat 28:18-20) is "make disciples". Comes from authority of Jesus Christ which has been delegated. (2) Our method -- go, baptize. and teach. We keep the faith by spreading it (2Ti 4:7). (3) Mystery -- "Behold I am with you always" for the purpose of fellowship with Him and one another.
To get from 'the cross to the crown' we need to make decisions to live a life of spiritual dynamics using God's provisions -- His Word and Spirit. This series given in early 2006 before Gene moved back to the States outlines ten aspects of our discipleship.
