The Thessalonian church held a tender place in the heart of the Apostle Paul. In this exposition of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, we see a paradigm for pastoral ministry, emphasizing the life-changing content of the gospel and the concerns of Paul’s heart for the healthy spiritual growth of the individuals that make up the church body. Alistair Begg teaches from this rich resource to help us to develop an understanding of the dynamics of the Christian life, both in what we believe and how we are to behave.
Volume three of this series addresses principles of healthy corporate life and worship within the local church. Having established what they were to believe and the lifestyle they were to display, the Apostle Paul reminded his readers of their responsibilities to God and to each other. Living together as a church family involves submission to leadership, corporate worship, and genuine expressions of fellowship.
