SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic | Tags: , , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

You’re not just another pebble on the beach. You’re not just another book on the shelf. Never look in the mirror and let the devil tell you that you’re a nobody and you don’t matter. I know who I am in Christ. I’m one of a kind. God only made one of me. Only I have this thumbprint. My DNA is unique to me alone. God reached down into the mirey clay, pulled me out, restored me, renewed me, and revived me. Then He put the seal of the Holy Spirit upon my soul. I am signed, sealed, and delivered through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Let The Lord of Peace Come In

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Holiness

The peace Jesus gives is not just for a moment; it is for all times and in every way. It is a peace that should permeate every aspect of our lives—our homes, our relationships, our workplaces. When trials come, we need to hold on to this truth: The Lord of Peace Himself is with us. He walks with us through every valley and stands with us on every mountaintop.

Walk in Obedience Work by Faith

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

If people continue to walk in disobedience to God’s Word and God’s will, and we tell them, “You can keep doing what you’re doing because Jesus loves you, and we love you,” we are not helping them. We are hurting them by affirming them in their sins rather than challenging them to change. Jesus loves us as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us like we are. He will always offer us a way to rise up, to press on, to be more in Him than we could be without Him. But if we dig in our heels and refuse to grow, we are living in rebellion, and God never blesses a rebellious spirit.

Strength for the Journey

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

This life is a journey, and the truth is that it isn’t always easy. In fact, it is rarely easy because there are mountains to climb, valleys to cross, storms to endure, and battles to fight. But we can make it because, as the children of God, we never walk this journey alone. God is with us. He will never leave us or forsake us, and He gives us the strength we need to keep on keeping on. He picks us up if we fall, He points us in the right direction if we’re lost, and He holds our hands when we are afraid. It is a journey, but is a journey where our faith will end in the glorious sight of our Savior.

Stand Firm and Hold Fast

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

Paul reminds us that our strength doesn’t come from ourselves—it comes from God! We’re not standing firm and holding fast by our own strength. We need Jesus. Our encouragement doesn’t come from our circumstances—it comes from God’s grace! Our hope doesn’t rest in what we can do but in what He has already done!

The Good News About the Bad News

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). It’s not a question of “if” the trials will come, it is only a matter of when and whether we will be ready. Paul said that “the mystery,” or “the secret power of lawlessness,” was already at work. But we don’t have to worry and wring our hands because we’ve been training for this. Every battle that we’ve been through, every prayer that God has answered, every sermon we’ve heard, and every lesson we’ve learned have been preparing us for the battle that’s coming. Don’t worry about it; in the name of Jesus, you’ve got this.

Don’t Be Deceived

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

In this passage, Paul provides wisdom and practical guidance for navigating confusion, false teaching, and spiritual deception. Let’s explore this passage together and consider three key lessons that will help us to recognize and reject false teaching, especially false teaching concerning the return of Christ. The three things Paul told the Thessalonians were: don’t be scared by forged letters, don’t be deceived by false teaching, and don’t be fooled by a fake Christ.

NEVER STOP PRAYING!

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

In the previous letter and again in this letter, Paul assures them that he is praying for them. Paul’s prayer for them is as relevant to us today as it was to them. In these two verses, Paul gives us a glimpse into his heart for the church and reminds us of the power and purpose of prayer.

Justice for the Win

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

There are two groups of people in this text. There are the persecuted children of God who will be rewarded with eternal peace and rest in the glorious presence of God. Then, there are the people who oppose God’s people and reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ; this group will be eternally judged. I want to be on the right side of this equation.

Let Me Make Myself Clear

By Admin | Date: | Categories: 2025, Basic, Sermon | Tags: , , , , , | Sermon Series: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

In the world, there will be tribulation, and the enemy will try to use it to divide us. But thank God, Jesus has overcome the world (Jn 16:33). If we lock hands and hearts in faith, we can stand stronger together than we can standing alone. Through their love for one another, the church in Thessalonica was able to overcome, and their faith continued to grow. We are always better together.
