Practical Precepts in Light of Prophecy, pt.4
As we conclude our series in 1 Thessalonians, we see that God’s perfect will for the Believer is sanctification: being set apart and holy unto the Lord. We must glorify God, by his grace, through submission to his Word.
Practical Precepts in Light of Prophecy, pt.3
As Paul's letter to the Thessalonians draws to a close, he continues to give simple but important commands for the Believer. In this sermon, we see the need to be thankful and unceasing in prayer. We must be submitted to the leading of the Holy Ghost and the doctrines of the Word of God. We must use the discernment and direction of God to avoid the appearance of evil and live blameless lives in Christ.
Practical Precepts in Light of Prophecy, pt.2
In this sermon, Paul gives a couple exhortations for the Thessalonians. Relationships within the Body of Christ can be difficult. Satan is always trying to create bitterness, division, and sin, but we must endeavor to love one another, preserve the unity, and hold each other accountable to the Word of God.
Practical Precepts in Light of Prophecy, pt.1
In this sermon, Paul is wrapping up his letter to the Thessalonians with a series of commandments. Today, we examine the Biblical office of the Pastor, who is called to labour and lead the local church. Members are called to submit to their Pastors and esteem them highly in love.
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.5b
In this sermon, Paul continues to outline the future Wrath over Unbelievers during the Great Tribulation. However, the Church has not been appointed to Wrath but to a Work! In Christ, we can take comfort in the Rapture and live sober lives as children of the light!
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.5a
In this sermon, we begin our study of the “Times and Seasons” of Biblical prophecy. Once the Church has been Raptured out (ch.4), God’s Wrath is poured out on the earth (ch.5). Today, we examine the timeline of this Great Tribulation.
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.4
In this sermon, we revisit the Biblical doctrine of the Rapture. Believers can find comfort and hope in the promise that Christ will return for his Church. On that day, he will gather together both the living and the dead in Christ to dwell with him forever.
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.3
In this sermon, Paul beseeches the Thessalonians to abound in love for the brethren. This is accompanied by an admonition to work hard at your job for a testimony to the Lost and for your needs to be provided.
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.2
In this sermon, Paul lays out the keys to a walk that is pleasing to the Lord. We must live holy lives that are sanctified to the Lord.
Living in Light of Christ's Return, pt.1
In this sermon, we see Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonians to grow in love and holiness. When we live in light of the Judgment Seat of Christ, we will live blameless lives that glorify God!
We Need a Mature Faith
In this sermon, we revisit the importance of accountability in Biblical discipleship. Mature ministers help younger Believers grow in their faith. We also examine how the Judgment Seat of Christ guided Paul’s prayers for the Thessalonians. Are we burdened for our church to grow in love and holiness?
Focus on the Judgment Seat of Christ
In this sermon, we see Paul’s yearning to see the Thessalonians again and prove out their faith. When he receives a good report from his disciple Timothy, he rejoices and thanks the Lord in prayer. By staying focused on the Judgment Seat of Christ in prayer, we resist Satan’s temptations and glorify God with our lives.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
In this sermon, we examine the doctrine of the Judgment Seat of Christ. The Bible teaches that every Christian will give account before Christ, and fire shall try their works of service to God. For those who lay their lives down investing the Word of God into the souls of men, there will be great reward - but for those who “live their best life now,” there will be great loss.
Be Thankful
In this sermon, Paul once again thanks the Lord in prayer for the Thessalonians. If we receive the Word of God in faith and choose to suffer with God’s people, then we can look forward to the hope and joy of reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Message to Leaders, pt.3
In this sermon, we further examine Paul’s heart in ministry. We are called to be spiritual fathers and mothers to our disciples. We must lay down our lives loving those we lead in ministry.
Message to Leaders, pt.2
In this sermon, Paul expresses his motherly care for the Believers at Thessalonica. Are we sacrificially loving our disciples with the same gentleness and grace?
Message to Leaders, pt.1
In this sermon, we begin our exposition of 1 Thessalonians. We are introduced to Paul’s missionary team and his pattern of ministry. We are called to win souls, make disciples, then equip and send proven leaders to do the same!
Rapture Ready
In this sermon, we examine the doctrine of the Rapture - Christ’s return for his Church. The Bible teaches a clear prophetic timeline that distinguishes the Rapture from Christ’s Second Advent to execute judgment on the World. The Church is saved from wrath, patiently serving the Lord, and looking forward to the hope of the Rapture - not preparing for Great Tribulation!
The Word and Power of the Gospel
In this sermon, we further examine the powerful testimony of the disciples at Thessalonica. In the midst of persecution, the Thessalonians were faithful ministers of the Word of God through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Examining the Biblical Doctrine of Election
In this sermon, Paul makes mention of the church’s “election of God” (1 Th. 1:4). Many have twisted this doctrine to teach that God has simply chosen to send some people to heaven and some to hell. By comparing scripture with scripture, the Bible clearly teaches that the church’s election is according to God’s foreknowledge that we would receive Christ willingly, by grace through faith.
