About this episode

This episode explores the themes of light and darkness in the context of 1 Thessalonians 5, focusing on the anxiety of the Thessalonians and the Apostle Paul's guidance on how to live amidst these challenges.

This world is not our home. We live out our earthly days in the ‘shadowlands.’ All around us is a mixture of darkness and light. However, we still have a choice. Will we be agents of the light or the dark? That will be the focus of today’s study in 1 Thessalonians 5. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What were the Thessalonians anxious about? B) How did the Apostle Paul address that anxiety? C) What were the implications for how they were to live? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt
