1 Thessalonians (YouTube)

The theme of 1 Thessalonians is how to live our lives in a way that reflects our hope in Christ’s return. This letter reveals how Paul’s anticipation of Christ’s return motivated and compelled him to preach the Gospel throughout the Roman Empire. In this study, you will learn how to align your life with God’s Word and how to pray for spiritual development in the areas of courage, sincerity, truthfulness, selflessness and the fear of God.

Life of Abraham (YouTube)

Abraham is one of the most important characters in the Bible. He is known both as the father of the Jewish people as well as the father of faith for all true believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this study, we will trace the call of God on Abraham and the fulfilment of that call through a life of faith and obedience. Along the way, you will learn valuable lessons both through Abraham’s compromise and failures as well as his acts of faith. Above all, we will see God’s over-ruling power, which brought Abraham to the place where he was able to fulfil God’s covenant promise, so that in him “all the families of the earth shall be blessed”.
