Practical Christian Living (6 of 10)
Series: Authentic Faith
Stephen Whitney
I Thessalonians 4:9-12
The city of Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn to serve as the capital of the colony of Pennsylvania. He named the city Philadelphia meaning ''city of brotherly love'' because as a Quaker, he had experienced religious persecution and wanted his colony to be a place where anyone could worship freely. This tolerance for anyone to practice their faith was much greater than what most of the other 12 colonies allowed.
It led to better relations with the local Native Indian tribes and resulted in the rapid growth of Philadelphia into the most important cities in the colonies so they held the Continental Congress there. It was there on July 2, 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was signed that the United States might become a new nation.
People want to be accepted, cared for and loved even though they are different than those around them. Even though everyone is different and unique they want to be included in a group.
Brotherly love is demonstrated by:
1. Accepting others even though they are different than you.
2. Believing God loves them as much as he does you.
3. Caring about what is important to them.
4. Helping them do something they are struggling with.
5. Working together to accomplish a goal.
