First Thessalonians is sobering yet hopeful, warning us of judgement to come for unbelievers – but great hope for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Those far from the Lord will instantly awake to the totality of their reality error. But those who are alive in Christ will be rescued by the rapture to watch in safety from the balconies of Heaven.

Take time to learn (or be reminded of) these incredibly important truths in God’s Word about what is to come…

‘Jesus Christ is coming again!’ This is the resounding message of the book of Thessalonians – and the reason why ‘hope springs eternal’.

This is not a wistful wishing for an unlikely or improbable future. Hope is heart reality anchored to the rock of God’s Word.

Think about it… we have a living hope! Jesus Christ is alive and gives life! And His second coming is the great hope of every Christian.

Encourage one another with these words and turn to 1 Thessalonians 4 for more about The Greatest Hope We Have.

The older I get, the more I realize how little I knew when I knew it all.

Even in my pride, my mother’s example and wisdom continually guided me to make better choices and brought me closer to God. Kids will be blessed by their parents’ wise choices – and bent toward their parents’ bad choices.

Some facets of God’s design for women can apply for us all. Even the apostle Paul said, “I was like a nursing mother, taking care of her own children,” as he focused on the needs of the churches in a very personal way.

Take time this Mother’s Day weekend to open your Bible and your heart to God’s Word for you in 1 Thessalonians 4.
