2) What are the solutions to these problems that the Apostle Paul brings to the church’s attention in this chapter?
3) From this passage, what are the activities we can do (there’s at least three) and what is the only thing that God can do?
How does this work?
4) What are the rewards for carefully building our life on the foundation of Christ? (cross-reference from 1 Thessalonians 2:17–20)
5) Remembering the plural of “you” in verses 16–17, what warning is there for us?

Reforming is becoming a teenager, 13 years old!
On the first Sunday in February, 2013, Reforming Church launched with its first service of gathered worship. It was the day of small things, and we rejoiced.
Since then our testimony is that everything we have is a testimony to God’s grace. Even that we could plant a church, even that Reforming still exists as a local church, even that we have the blessings of Reforming House and being a family of God’s precious people. All of this is God’s grace to us.
