1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 In this section of the letter, Paul calls the church to holiness and focuses on their sexual practices. Pastor Mike takes a look at how these words would have landed on them back then by exploring the sexual ethic of their diverse cultures. He then brings Paul's words forward to us and to our culture's sexual ethic today to show us that holiness in our sexual practices is attained when we do the most loving and least hurtful things to one another.
