What would it look like to move from being the hero of your story to being a hero maker who invites others into the unfolding story of God for their lives? Find out with us as we look at the book of 1 Thessalonians.
1 Thessalonians: Become A Hero Maker
What would happen if we focused more on building launching pads instead of platforms? There is something better than being the hero in your own story, it’s being a hero maker.
1 Thessalonians: Belonging is the fuel for our Calling
How do we truly live out the calling to be Hero Makers? How do we step into a life of flourishing, presence, and purpose? In the second week of our series through 1 Thessalonians we see that the answer isn't trying harder, but instead it's experiencing what it means to Belong?
1 Thessalonians: How to Become a Hero Maker
Lacking purpose usually doesn't show up as a big crisis, but as subtle symptoms that eat away at us over time: Feeling restless, aimlessness, anxiety about the future, numbness, and cynicism. What if these symptoms are a sign that it's time to make a shift. To move from being the hero of our own story to being a hero maker: helping others be the hero in God's unfolding story.
1 Thessalonians: Suffering & Hero-Making
Suffering disorients us. Traumas cause us to forget. Hero-makers remind us who we are. In 1 Thessalonians 2:13-20 the Thessalonians forgot who they were. Paul is quick to remind them who they are: his glory and joy.
1 Thessalonians: What are you Capable of
How do we maximize our capacity? One answer is suffering. Suffering maximizes our capacity, and most of us avoid suffering? Hero makers show us love while we suffer. Love makes us brave and gives us the strength to endure suffering, which maximizes our capacity.
1 Thessalonians: Sex and the Bible
Paul tells the Thessalonians church to stay away from sexual sin. What is he talking about? What does the Bible teach about sex?
1 Thessalonians: You don’t have to be Perfect to be Purposeful
What do you do with the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Many of us feel we can't be hero makers without getting our lives perfectly in order. But Paul tells us we just need to start.
