Welcome to The Preached Word. In today's message from 1 Thessalonians 5:25–28, we explore a seemingly disconnected series of commands—a request for prayer, an exhortation to greet, a solemn charge to read the epistle, and a final benediction. Join us as we discover the rich, unifying theme of The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, which not only connects these duties but makes the Christian life and all our service possible.

Welcome to The Preached Word. Today, we delve into the shortest chapter of the Bible, Psalm 117, to discover the believer's enduring duty to praise the Lord. Dr. Frank Walker will unpack how this psalm not only establishes our call to worship but also prophetically grounds the church's worldwide missionary endeavor in the greatness of God's covenantal love and his unchanging truth.

Welcome to The Preached Word. Today, we turn to Paul's first written benediction, which we find in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, to uncover the glorious, sovereign work of God's grace. We'll clear away theological fog to understand how the God of peace himself sanctifies and preserves the whole believer, standing against the errors of sinless perfectionism and trichotomy, all by the faithfulness and perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ.
