Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons by Pastor Tim Travis (Page 27)
Our study of Thessalonians continues as we look at 1 Thessalonians 5 and some of the things of the end times as well as attributes for our lives as we learn to pray without ceasing.
Ignorance is no excuse. As we study 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5:6, it is important for us to remember that God put all things in the Bible that we be without excuse.
Each day we are sowing. John 4:34-38 reminds us of the importance of sowing things that matter for eternity.
As we study 1 Thessalonians 2:1-3:5 we recognize the timelessness of the Word of God – it’s as true for us today as it was when Paul wrote it! Friends, as we look toward the return of our Savior, let us come together and worship our Creator.
Are we eager to be close to God? When we study Exodus 19, we recognize that not everyone chooses to be close to God – but what’s our desire today? We are as close to God as we choose to be!
Everyone has a mother and they’ve all been an influence in our lives, one way or another. In 2 Timothy 1:5, we are reminded of a mother and grandmother who had a great influence in Timothy’s life. What a joy it is to celebrate Mothers!
How do you wish to be known? As we study 1 Thessalonians 1 we’re reminded that we should have a reputation of turning to Christ and living for Him. How will you be remembered?
Do you pursue God? When we’re passionate about something, we tend to find the time to make it a priority – how about something of eternal importance? Friend, we’re all in need of this daily time with God, let us each make it a priority to pursue God!
We all have but one life to live, one life to give – what will we do with it? In Jude 1:22, we’re entreated to make a difference – to draw others to salvation. It is our cause, our calling, but it comes at a cost. Friend, let us be about our Savior’s business today!
As we conclude our study of 1 Timothy with 1 Timothy 5, Paul closes with many helpful reminders to today’s Christian as we deal with elders, honor widows, and look to live blameless before men.
