In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, the question arises: What is our faith truly anchored in? At Lakeview Christian Church of Portage Lakes, we are reminded of the steadfast faith of the Thessalonian church, as highlighted in Paul’s letters. The Thessalonians understood that their hope and sustenance came from Jesus Christ alone. They embraced the power of the Holy Spirit, which enabled them to live differently and stand firm against persecution.

Scripture Reference:

1 Thessalonians 1:3 – “We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Thessalonians’ faith was not passive; it was active and transformative. They knew that Jesus had given them everything they needed to withstand trials. This is a powerful reminder for us today. Are we placing our faith in temporary things, or are we fully relying on Jesus, the only one who truly satisfies?
