  1. 2D AGO

    Hope In Jesus

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

  2. APR 20

    Resurrected And Raised

    1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! To celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead we turn to Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians. In these verses we discover that there is a way to know if I am a genuine Christian. We discover that genuine Christians are those who have been resurrected from death to life and are delivered from the wrath to come by Jesus. The question is, “Why is Jesus qualified to be this Deliverer?” Answer: because resurrection! Main Idea—I can be resurrected from death to life because God raised Jesus from the dead.

  3. APR 13

    Love Matters

    1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 God is committed to our holiness. In fact, God takes the matter of our holiness so seriously that He leaves no room for you and me to misunderstand His expectations, for—“as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Pet. 1:15-16). So far Paul has talked about holiness and our sanctification in sexual purity. Now it’s time to talk about this in brotherly love and how this works itself out something as practical as our work. God-pleasing love for others in the Jesus family and beyond can be as simple as working unto the Lord! Main Idea—I please God by working hard at loving others and loving hard work.

  4. APR 6

    Sexual Purity

    1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 The good news of Jesus not only teaches us what to believe, but it also directs us how we ought to live in order to “please God” (4:1). This is the crucial connection the Thessalonian Believers needed to grasp and the same goes for you and me today. This prompts the question—“Okay, so how do I do this? How can I live to please God? Paul answers this question in Chapters 4 & 5—The purpose of Believers is to please God in all things. Whether it’s your sex life, your work life, matters of death and life, or anything in-between—God’s call for you and me is to keep growing in holiness more and more. This sets us up for the Main Idea—I please God when I pursue holiness in sexual purity.

  5. MAR 30

    Growth (More And More)

    1 Thessalonians 3:10-13 For three chapters, Paul has been giving thanks for the work of the gospel in the lives of the Thessalonians. But now the time has come to heap the encouragement of growth on his thanksgiving. They are walking in a manner worthy of God. The question is how do they do this “more and more”? Christian growth will come down to action. That cannot be denied. But first, Christian growth must begin [ and continue ] in prayer to God. That is what Paul models for us in his prayer. Paul takes this on in his letter because the Thessalonians need to know that growth is a normal part of the Christian life. Main Idea—Growing more and more is a prayer-fueled, normal part of the Christian life.

  6. MAR 23

    Family Matters

    1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:10 Because my Jesus family matters, matters of my Jesus family grip my heart. This truth comes to surface greatly in our text. Paul is a pastor but also an ordinary Christian. He is a fellow brother and sister in the household of God with the Thessalonians. His is a heart of deep love for his Thessalonian Jesus family and this deep love gives us a model for how we can approach family life in our Jesus family. Like Paul to the Thessalonians, we can see our local church family with glory and joy, longing to see them stand firm in the Lord, seeing their faith in Jesus as fuel for our faith in Jesus.

  7. MAR 16

    The Word And The World

    1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 The church in Thessalonica sprang up from the soil of affliction and hardship yet these Believers received the gospel in much affliction with the joy in the Holy Spirit. But as time went on the opposition and suffering they experienced continued long after their initial reception of the gospel. Why? Paul answers that their ongoing suffering makes sense because God’s Word is at work in them resulting in the world at work against them. Paul encourages them that their experience isn’t abnormal, but a normal part of everyday discipleship.

  8. MAR 9

    Pain And Hopelessness

    Psalm 13:1-6 There is lonely and waiting pain. Grief and loss pain. We can experience relational pain that is often partnered with emotional pain. And then there is the physical pain we experience with our bodies. Add to all of this that our pain can be chronic—meaning it is constant and ongoing. And when we watch the life, abilities, and enjoyment we once had fade into the distance due to that pain—disappointment, grief, despair, and especially hopelessness can quickly seep into our veins. Hopelessness is the great temptation we face in chronic pain prompting the question—What do you do when you find yourself in a season of pain with no end in sight? Psalm 13 is our help teaching us—When I feel hopeless in my pain, I can hope in God.
