Pastor Nate brings the message "Accountability for the Busybody" from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15. What do you do with the professing Christian who freeloads because he refuses to work? That was the challenge the Thessalonian church faced. And, it's the passage with significant implications for our lives that we'll cover this Sunday!
Pastor Stephen brings the message “Talking Like Christians” from 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5. In Paul's letters, we often find him encouraging believers with simple truths, praying for them, and asking for prayer. In short, Paul writes like a Christian talking to Christians. But for us, it can often feel awkward or hard to talk casually about faith, grace, or what God's doing in our lives with our Christian friends. Our passage for Sunday will model what uplifting, casual, Christian conversation can look like in our relationships with other believers.
Pastor Nate brings the message from 2 Thessalonians 2, ""What if We Got it Wrong?" That was the question that worried the Christians in Thessalonica. Granted, there are a lot of ideas about how the Lord will return. But, Paul's aim in this chapter is to shed truth on the fact that Jesus will return, and Christians can stand firm until that day comes.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Hopeful yet Heavy Justice of God” from 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12. It irks us when we see injustice happening around us. Yet, when Jesus returns, God tells us that there will be a complete and final justice that He will hand down to all of humanity. A justice that will be permanent…a justice that brings hope to each Christ
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Enduring Evidence” from 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5. Not long after he wrote 1 Thessalonians, Paul saw the need to quickly follow up with a second letter to the young Christians at Thessalonica. The themes from the first and second letter are very similar but with further clarification. This Sunday we will spend our time looking at the first five verses that point to the evidence of God's saving work in our lives.
How do I know if I'm saved? What if I don't feel saved? Satan will often tempt us with lies, and sometimes it's the lie that we aren't saved. In this sermon we look at truths from three passages (Philippians 1:6, Romans 8, 1 Peter 1) that remind those of us who have placed our faith in Christ, that we can have confidence in our eternal security.
