1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
You can join me in turning to 1 Thess 4:9-12 (page...)
- If you're new to us, we usually move through different books of the Bible together. We believe that the Bible is God's word to us, and that he continues to speak to us through it. And so we are taking this Fall to move through the First and Second letters to the Thessalonians.
- Next Sunday we'll be taking a break from this letter. We're going to have a guest speaker with us, and I'm really looking forward to it. Dr. Steve Wellum is going to be here. He is a professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. He is also teaching a Systematic Theology class this fall at the new Indianapolis Theological Seminary. And so he'll be in townd next weekend to teach that course. And he'll be joining us on Sunday morning.
[1 Thess 4:9-12]
The Christians who received this letter had only been Christians for a short while.
...But they knew something about life that many Christians in America don't learn for years. They were learning that no part of life is left outside of the grace and authority of Jesus.
The gospel - the message that God is rescuing us from our sin and restoring all things through Jesus - is not just meant to give us eternal life, but to change our everyday lives. The Risen Christ has a claim on every aspect of life.
Some people have referred to a Sunday-Monday gap. There is a gap between what we experience here on Sundays, and how we live on Mondays.
But that gap isn't supposed to be there. True Christianity is a life where our faith is integrated into every aspect of life. Our faith is integrated with how we live in a family, how we study at school, how we work in our vocation, how we engage with our neighbors, and how we think about politics.
Being a Christian means working our faith into every corner of our lives.
