From 1 Thessalonians Commending them in their relationship with the Lord Challenging them to step it up Filling in the gaps of their understanding  How now they should live  Expectation of the Lord’s return

Living in the Light 1 Thessalonians 5 Encouraged in Your Faith Series

I. No Surprise – 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 How and when this all will happen The day of the Lord’s return

Like a thief in the night  sudden and unexpected

Like a pregnant woman’s labor pains  Certain, sudden, unavoidable

False sense of security - disaster will fall suddenly No escape

You aren’t in the dark You won’t be surprised You are children of light

Darkness Represents unalert (sleeping) Represents unsound judgment (drunk)

Stay alert Clear headed  Not ignorant  Not impaired Protected by the armor Helmet of salvation - confidence

Chosen for salvation – not judgment 1 Thessalonians 1:10 …Jesus, … He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment. Whether dead or alive when he returns – we live with him forever 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 All transformed Mortal bodies transformed into immortal Death swallowed up in victory Victory over sin and death by our Lord Jesus Christ Encourage each other with these words – as you are doing

II. P.S. - 5:12-19 Honor (respect) those who are leaders in the Lord’s work

1 Peter 5:2-4 (NLT) 2 Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. 3 Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example. 4 And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.

Warn the lazy Encourage the timid Care for the weak Be patient with everyone Don’t pay back evil – do good to all people Always be joyful Never stop praying Be thankful in all circumstances Don’t stifle, quench, suppress the Holy Spirit- Do not put out the Spirit's fire (NIV) Stay away from every kind of evil

III. Benedictions – 5:23-28 May God keep you holy and blameless SpiritSoulBody Pray for us Greet one another Read this to all the brothers and sisters May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you – (beginning and ending with God’s grace)

Conclusion Paul wrote to strengthen their faith and bolster their resistance to persecution and temptation Make sure that we continue in our faith and don't become sidetracked by wrong beliefs or practices. Better equip us to help our brothers and sisters in Christ
