Living in Anticipation 1 Thessalonians In First Thessalonians, Paul encourages the church to live with an eye towards the skies; to so live in anticipation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ that it affects every area of daily living; our friendships, our love, our work, good times, and tough times, even the way we see death itself. Join us on Wednesday nights, at 7 pm for an in-depth study of 1 Thessalonians.
