| 0:00.0 | The Welcome. Welcome to Truth for Life where we are beginning a study in the Book of First Thessalonians. |
| 0:30.0 | As Alistairbegg sets the stage for our study. He will outline the historical context, |
| 0:35.6 | we'll get to know the author of the letter, and we'll find out why the church in Thessalenika had such a special place in his heart. |
| 0:43.0 | Well, if you like to take your Bibles to one Thessalonians will turn there once again. Every local church is |
| 0:56.6 | going to be known for something. It will be marked by certain facets and |
| 1:02.3 | aspects that will become characteristic of it and there is |
| 1:07.7 | only a certain degree to which any company of God's people have control over that. |
| 1:11.8 | It's largely something which happens unwittingly in most cases. |
| 1:17.0 | So that if you think of different places in different times and different fellowships, you say to yourself, oh yes I remember that city and I do remember |

| 2:00.7 | tonight we're going to make a beginning at it and I want to give you a |
| 2:05.4 | suggestion and some of you will not be able to do this because of the programs in |
| 2:10.1 | which you're already engaged but if you are not presently engaged in a form of reading |
| 2:15.8 | that would preclude this, I'm going to suggest to you that you set it as a target to read First |
| 2:21.0 | Thessalonians every day for the next month. |
| 2:25.0 | There are some five chapters, about 79 verses I think, and it's not a particularly |
| 2:30.8 | daunting prospect, but some of you may want to take me up on the challenge |
| 2:35.5 | and the call and to read First Thessalonians every day for the next month. |
