1 Thessalonians, Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

On Good Friday we remembered Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he draws a line from Jesus’ resurrection to his return. He argues that the reality of the former guarantees the reality of the latter. But, did Jesus rise? How do we know? Can we know?

1 Thessalonians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We begin a new series in 1 Thessalonians. This is a warm, heartfelt, urgent letter written by the Apostle Paul, and his co-laborers, to a baby church they planted but were quickly forced to leave. It’s filled with loving gospel reminders, instruction on basic discipleship, and teaching on Jesus’ inevitable return. While written long ago, it feels just as relevant today in Seattle—a city much like Thessalonica.
