#1 Thessalonians 5

The Day of the Lord
1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Final Instructions
12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us. 26 Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss. 27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.

Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-28
Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-28
Paul closes his letter by instructing the Thessalonian believers to rejoice always. Show your joy again in celebration. Party like something good has happened. Out of all the people on God’s earth, Christians are the ones with most reason to have a good time, celebrate, and rejoice. The rejoicing does not stop. God is doing good things. He has provided good things. What reason do we have to…

The gospel of the kingdom is the hope of the future of this world
The gospel of the kingdom is the hope of the future of this world
Our high calling is to stand for the truth of God’s sovereignty amidst those who have not recognized him as king. 1 Corinthians 15:50 – What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruption. The kingdom of God will only be established on this earth as he rules and reigns in our hearts; this is a spiritual…

"THAT CONTAINER IS LYING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS"
Matthew 7:15, “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you LOOKING LIKE SHEEP on the OUTSIDE, but on the INSIDE they are really like wild WOLVES.” (GNT) My two favorite seasons are Winter and Fall! Winter, because I love Christmas, snow, carols, decorations and the like. And Fall, because I love the colors, Thanksgiving, the start of the scent of fireplaces, but most of all,…

Church notes - 27th November 2022
27th Luke 4:38 - 44 2 Corinthians 9:7
Revelation 22
Uncertainty
The picture of the New Jerusalem - Very certain. As is the Gospel message of Jesus dying for our sins and His Resurrection. His Return is certain! His Judgement of the wicked and the Church is certain. It is done.
The message of Revelation is relevant to us. His return is near.
vs 11 The time will come when the opportunity will pass. vs 12
John 14 Acts 1:11 1 Thesssalonians 5:2
Expect Him to come. 1 Corinthians 15:22 God's time is not our time. It can't be determined by our measurements.
Live each day as if it were our last, and each day as if there were to be a great future. Jeremiah 32 In a time of uncertainty, Jeremiah offered hope.
vs 14, 15 Those who were purified by faith in Jesus. Robes washed by His Blood.
vs 18 - 19 Take these words and all of Scripture seriously!
Jesus Rose. He will return.
There is hope in Jesus!
Revelation is a book of hope! Evil will not last forever.
God is in control. Evil will not last forever. A wonderful reward that is waiting for all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15
Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15
After encouraging the Thessalonians about those who have died, Paul exhorts them concerning the treatment of others. First, he instructs them to appreciate their preachers and teachers—those who have charge over them in the Lord and give instruction. This instruction particularly concerns the congregation’s treatment of their pastors or positional elders. We are to esteem them highly because of…
