In this Father’s Day message, Bryan Hay continues the “Motivated” series by teaching from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28, where Paul paints a picture of what life in God’s family should look like—honoring leaders, encouraging one another, helping the weak, rejoicing always, praying continually, and holding fast to what is good. Bryan reminds us that the Christian life is not about self-improvement but Spirit-empowered transformation, anchored in the promise of verse 24: “The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.” This message challenges us to build families and a church community that reflect God’s love, grace, and faithfulness.
