Rise - Your Setting Shapes Your Story

"Where you are" shapes "who you are." Our context has the power to dramatically influence how our story unfolds.
This week, as we kick off a new series through 1 Thessalonians, Pastor Ben Stuart introduces us to the context that the letter was written and shows us how Paul's words to the church in Thessalonica can still encourage us today.
Key Verses // 1 Thessalonians 1:1-3, Acts 17:1-9

Ben I miss you man when we used to hang out at Bernie's I did worship nights

[@JediLantern]

The only context I have is sleeping outside and people treating me so bad

[@JediLantern]

I'm literally in the woods tonight just trying to get away from everyone cause nobody is nice

[@JediLantern]

I live in the woods have no rooms to rent for a single guy with no kids who doesn't get money for the government

[@JediLantern]

How come we can't sleep in public and charge phone! Why nobody rents rooms!!! Why there is no work!!!

[@JediLantern]

Idk where my friends are they all changed

[@JediLantern]

I don't even have a car 😭

[@JediLantern]

If the church cares about people why do they lock the doors and call the cops everytime you go there . I miss you ben

[@lislevollgraaff1236]

So disappointing to hear such a talented man of God blaspheme in each sermon. The Bible is so very clear not to take His Name in vain... and you do that Ben, everytime you say 'oh my god' as an expression of shock. It ruins your ministry.

[@Feseta456]

That’s not what that means

[@lislevollgraaff1236]

@@Feseta456 It's blasphemy. Check your Bible!
