    How We Can Pray for One Another

    From the closing verses of 1 Thessalonians, this sermon highlights four ways believers should pray for one another: for spiritual growth, for church leaders, for deeper love for one another, and for greater obedience to God’s Word. As we pray, we can rest in the faithful promises and sustaining grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

    A Church That Honors the Holy Spirit

    This sermon from 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 shows us how a healthy church honors the Holy Spirit. Believers are warned not to quench the Spirit through sin or apathy, not to despise God’s Word, and not to accept every idea uncritically. Instead, Christians must test everything by Scripture, and are called to receive, believe, and obey God’s Word. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

    God's Will for Your Life

    In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paul reveals a clear picture of God’s will for believers: lives marked by continual joy, persistent prayer, and constant gratitude. Even in trials, we can rejoice because our joy is rooted in Christ, we can depend on God through prayer, and we can give thanks for the grace, salvation, and eternal hope found in Him.

    Our Responsibility to One Another

    In 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15, Paul describes how the church should function as the family of God, calling us to admonish one another, encourage the discouraged, help the weak, practice patient endurance with each other, and refuse to retaliate when wronged. Instead, we are to pursue good toward everyone, reflecting the patience and mercy God has shown us in Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

    Stepping into the Will of God

    In this message from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13, we’re called to pursue blessing over mere success, to respect and highly esteem our spiritual leaders, to love them despite weaknesses, and to maintain peace in the church. Every step of obedience leads to the deeper joy found in following the will of God. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

    Living as Children of Light

    In this sermon from 1 Thessalonians 5:6-11, we’re reminded that as children of light, we are called to live awake, sober-minded, and ready for Christ’s return.

    Being Ready for the Day of the Lord

    In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, Paul reminds believers that the “Day of the Lord” is certain, sudden, and inescapable for those living in spiritual darkness. Yet for those in Christ, that day will not catch them unprepared or bring condemnation. As believers, we are called to be ready, living holy lives with confident expectation of the rescue and reward Christ will bring. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

    Our Great Hope

    In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Paul addresses the church’s grief and confusion about believers who have died, pointing them to the hope found in Christ’s resurrection and return. Because Jesus died and rose again, the dead in Christ will be raised, and all believers will be reunited with Him forever, which is a truth meant to bring great comfort. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
