Sermons on Christ (Page 84)
Here, we see the contrast between the rejection, discouragement, and distress of a true man of God at the lack of diligence in believers, and the joyful encouragement and gratitude that comes from the faithful. Paul’s concern about the church having a firm foundation of faith is still relevant to us today.
“Evidence of surrender to God is a life of service. He is worth serving because of who He is.” Bro. Jeff continues with this series on Paul’s expressions of gratitude, and here we look at the Thessalonian’s life of service and what we can learn from it.
Do you have a testimony of salvation? Using the testimony of the Thessalonians, Bro. Jeff explains the two essential “ingredients” to the real, born-again experience of Biblical salvation.
Christians, we have to be both an example and an evangelist. One without the other makes our witness incomplete. Bro. Jeff explains here.
If you were put on a stand in court, and all evidence was presented, is there evidence of real conversion…of a Biblical salvation experience? Continuing to explore Thessalonians 1, Bro. Jeff describes characteristics of genuine belief in Christ.
We can learn much from Paul’s expressions of gratitude, for we can learn from him what is important in the life of a Christian. Here, Bro. Jeff looks at the Thessalonians and their response of repentance to hearing the Word that led to salvation.
What characterizes gospel preaching? True salvation? Paul’s thankfulness for the Thessalonian’s “election of God” provides opportunity to examine the scriptures for answers to those questions. Bro. Jeff provides clear, easy-t0-understand explanation here.
Paul regularly expressed gratitude in his prayers for the people God placed in his life. We can learn and grow from considering the things Paul commended. Here, Bro. Jeff looks at the sacrificial work and toil of the Thessalonian believers.
In this season of giving thanks, Bro. Jeff takes a look at one of Paul’s “thank you” letters. Paul’s example provides insight on the things for which we should be thankful as well.
