He is Risen!

In this Resurrection Sunday sermon from 1 Thessalonians 3:6–13, Pastor Zachary C. Hill unpacks what it truly means to live in light of Jesus’ resurrection.

Timothy brings good news back to Paul: the young Thessalonian church is standing firm in faith and overflowing in love despite persecution. Paul overflows with thanksgiving and prays that their love would abound more and more, and that their hearts would be established blameless in holiness before God at the coming of our Lord Jesus.

This message shows that true resurrection living is not merely believing facts about the empty tomb—it is faith that fuels abounding love for God and others. Faith without love becomes cold knowledge; love without depth becomes shallow sentiment. The resurrection transforms us to love as Christ loved, even our enemies, and to share the Gospel through lives marked by this love.

Pastor Zach gives a brief overview of the Trinity and talks about degrees of trinitarian heresy.

In this Palm Sunday sermon from 1 Thessalonians 2:17–3:5, Pastor Zachary C. Hill delivers a balanced, biblical look at “Knowing Satan.”

Paul was physically torn away from the young Thessalonian church but remained united with them in heart. He desperately longed to return, yet Satan hindered him again and again. Concerned that the Tempter might shake their faith through afflictions and make his labor in vain, Paul sent Timothy to strengthen and encourage them.

This message recovers a sober and scriptural perspective on the adversary: Satan is not behind every minor inconvenience, nor is he absent when genuine opposition arises against the Gospel. Learn Satan’s primary schemes—hindering the advance of the Gospel, tempting believers toward despair or apostasy—and how Christians are called to respond with sober watchfulness, standing firm, resisting the devil, and fighting the good fight of faith.

We rest in the truth that Christ has already defeated the enemy. The same sun that melts ice hardens clay—will opposition draw us closer to Jesus or drive us away?
