Sunday: A Prayer of Thanks (1 Thess. 1:1-3)

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 21, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

In the opening words of 1 Thessalonians, we catch a glimpse of the selflessness of Paul. While he was clearly the author of this letter (1 Thess. 2:18, 3:5, 5:27), he gives recognition to his coworkers Silas and Timothy. Read 1 Thessalonians 1:1-3. For what things are Paul, Silas, and Timothy giving thanks? What do these things mean in a … Continue reading –>

Further Study: Thessalonica in Paul’s Day

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 19, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

“Providence had directed the movements of nations, and the tide of human impulse and influence, until the world was ripe for the coming of the Deliverer. . . “At this time the systems of heathenism were losing their hold upon the people. Men were weary of pageant and fable. They longed for a religion that … Continue reading –>

03: Thessalonica in Paul’s Day – Thought Starters

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 18, 2012 by Joyce GriffithSeptember 1, 2013avatar

“Mom! Dad! Where’s everybody?” Ariston let his sandals clack against the hard surface of the walkway as he dashed through the Thessalonian house where he lived with his family. “Over here!” His mother called from the corner of the house where she was mixing dough for flat bread. “What is so urgent?” “Can I go see … Continue reading –>

Thursday: Home Churches

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 18, 2012 by Sabbath School LessonMarch 3, 2016avatar

Read Romans 16:5; 1 Corinthians 16:19; Colossians 4:15; and Philemon 1, 2. What do all these texts have in common? In the Roman world there were two main types of residences. There was the domus, a large, single-family home built around a courtyard, typical of the wealthy. Such a home could provide a meeting place for 30-100 people. The other type … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: Paul, the “Street Preacher”

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 17, 2012 by Sabbath School LessonMarch 3, 2016avatar

The first-century Greco-Roman context experienced a proliferation of popular philosophers who, in public forums, sought to influence individuals and groups-similar to what street preachers might do today. These philosophers believed that people had an inner capacity to change their lives (a form of conversion). Philosophers would use public speech and private conversation in order, they … Continue reading –>

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 16, 2012 by Michael FrackerJanuary 2, 2014avatar

Tuesday: The Gospel as a Point of Contact

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 16, 2012 by Sabbath School LessonMarch 3, 2016avatar

Given what we learned yesterday, it is not difficult to see why-when the gospel came to Thessalonica-many non-Jews of the city responded positively. Whether or not Paul was aware of the Cabirus cult before arriving in the city, his Messianic approach in the synagogue resonated with the unique spiritual longings of the local pagans. When … Continue reading –>

Monday: A Pagan Response to Rome

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 15, 2012 by Sabbath School LessonMarch 3, 2016avatar
Man Opening Book With Nothing in It

The pagan response to the powerlessness many Thessalonians felt was a spiritual movement scholars call the Cabirus cult. The cult was grounded in a man named Cabirus who spoke up for the disenfranchised and was eventually murdered by his two brothers. He was buried along with symbols of royalty, and the cult came to treat … Continue reading –>

Sunday: The Romans Arrive in Thessalonica

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 14, 2012 by Sabbath School LessonMarch 3, 2016avatar

Read John 11:48-50. How were the political and religious decisions regarding the ministry of Jesus impacted by the arrival of the Romans in first-century Palestine and Jerusalem? Think through the logic expressed here. In what frightening ways does it make sense? In the context of a civil war among the Greek city-states, the Thessalonians invited the … Continue reading –>
