Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: In this passage, Paul requests that the Thessalonians pray for him and those who are with him that the good news about Jesus would "speed" through the world. A request that is of immeasurable importance today for each and every follower of Jesus just as it was in the days of Paul. Scott encourages those prayers as he models them, and as he shows what results those prayers produce.

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: This is a very heavy section of scripture that deals with suffering. As Scott says everyone without exception deals with suffering. Because we know that it exists, how do we understand it? What do I do with it? Does it have any value?

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: When you think about leading a "holy" life, how do you think you should live? Scott talks about the meaning of the call for everyday followers of Jesus to examine their behavior and how that looks to unbelievers. In the context of one's sexuality, what does a life lived within the instruction of scripture look like?

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:17 - 3:13
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: In this third message in the series, "Everyday Disciple Every Day," Scott encourages followers of Jesus to consider how deeply Paul is concerned for this church in Thessalonica. Paul's concern for those who follow is expressed in his comment that he prays "most earnestly night and day" for them. This is an example for each everyday disciple today to have the same concern for one another's faith and growth so that we are prompted to earnestly pray for one another that our faith may remain strong and grow more deeply.

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: This second message in the Everyday Disciple Every Day Series continues the discussion of this question:
How do average, ordinary, everyday followers of Jesus live with holiness and hope in a hostile world? Scott seeks the answer to this question in the example of a church founded by Paul, the apostle, in the city of Thessalonica. What is a disciple? Whose approval really matters? What is essential for a disciple of Jesus to remember? What kind of a life does a disciple live?

Scripture: Acts 17:1-9, 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, I Thessalonians 1
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: This is the first in the series on the apostle Paul's letter to the church we read about in 1 Thessalonians. The question that faced the Thessalonians is the very same question followers of Jesus face today: How do you live with holiness and hope in a hostile world? This is the big question that the entire series will address as followers today seek to live a life of hope and holiness in our present world.
