Life Group,
These young/new believers were expectantly "Waiting" for the return of Jesus, but they were not passive. Their actions were making a difference all across Greece. That is such a great story. Just imagine people asking them why they are doing these things?, why they have hope?, why they are acting different?
The new believers from Thessalonica could not open their bibles to give answers. They could not draw out the Roman Road to salvation. They could not use church answers and use words like exegetical, theological, and pedagogical.
But they could say something like "I don't know much, but I do know that when I heard Paul talk about this hope, I felt it was true and decided to follow it. Now I have joy and peace because I have a new hope. So I have decided to pass it along to other people"
So what is your story? What do you tell others about how your life was changed or why you are a part of a community of believers?
My challenge to you this week is to make this a discussion during a family dinner.
Be intentional.
