Study Questions:

1. Read and meditate on 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10. What does Paul mean that they “became imitators” of Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy? What would that look like for ARCC?

2. What were the idols that these people turned from in order to serve God? How do we know what the idols are in our own life? What does it look like to turn from them?

3. What does it mean that their “faith in God” had gone forth everywhere? How did/does God accomplish this?

4. Pray for the future of our church. Pray for wisdom and discernment for the elders of our church specifically as it regards our future location. Pray that God would make ready our hearts to be a part of this huge next step for ARCC. Pray that it would result in many people coming to know Jesus, leading to many disciples being made, leading to many being sent out with the gospel to the nations.
