Like A Thief In The Night (9 of 12)
Series: Living Ready, Vol. 1

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Thessalonians chapter 5. We're in a series on the Book of 1st Thessalonians, and then we'll go into 2nd Thessalonians. We're calling it, "Living Ready: Preparing Yourself for the Lord's Return." In 1st Thessalonians and 2nd Thessalonians, a lot is said about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Now Paul talks about many different things, but that is one of the themes in 1st Thessalonians and then even more so in 2nd Thessalonians.

Is it genuine? Is it real? And so he went from Thessalonica, he ended up in Corinth. And from Corinth, that's when he sent Timothy back to find out, "Tell me what's going on with these folks."

And when you read in 1st Thessalonians, you'll find that Paul was so excited about this church, maybe more than any of the churches that he planted, he was so excited about them. He had nothing negative to say. It was all positive. It was all encouragement. And it was instruction for them to live the Christian life and to prepare for the Lord's return. Now, we want to talk tonight about this thing called The Day of the Lord. Paul said it's going to come like a thief in the night. Now, 1st Thessalonians chapter 4, he talks ab ...
