“I believe that God has given me a word for you – and that word is …

Thunderbirds”

There are three aspects of discipleship in 1 Thess 2:1-15 that I want to talk about – and in some ways, the characteristics of Thunderbirds act as a good reminder:

• Thunderbird 1 : The father figure – being first on the ground, the leader, the guide
• Thunderbird 2 : The mother figure – carries other thunderbirds in the pod – speaks of nurturing
• Thunderbird 4 : Brothers and sisters – Seemed insignificant, but risked itself completely to save others
