Today’s view of adoption doesn’t carry with it the full weight of what it means to the Christian. Galatians 4:4-7 tells us how we are adopted in to the family of God, made joint heirs with Christ, redeemed, and able to cry Abba, Father. What a privilege it is to be adopted in!
As churches that follow Christ, we must heed the warnings of Scripture. 1 Thessalonians 5 contains many reminders of the need for us to be vigilant and wary as the last days draw ever nearer, while we watch for the return of Christ.
Christ, our propitiation! Romans 3:23-31 discusses this, but what does it mean? Listen to the explanation in this sermon!
The need to remember that we are being watched is ever before us. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 reminds us that we’re to do all things to please God and to grow in Him as we walk through this life abstaining from the things that are not of God. Friend, will you strive to please God or…
When we consider a good soldier, we often consider the hardened, battle worn soldier who stood strong in battle and endured until the end as he relied upon his training to get him through. Likewise, in 2 Timothy 2:1-4, we are reminded of the need for us to be good soldiers for Christ, willing to…

When Paul wrote the the church of Thessalonica in 1 Thessalonians 1:1-2:13, he lauded them for the example they were. As we think about our church, are we being an example to those around us? Are we a faithful church that strives to do the work of Christ?
Redeemed—how I love to proclaim it!Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;Redeemed through His infinite mercy,His child, and forever, I am. We sing often of the redemption we have, but have you realized all that it means? Oh how glad I am that I am forever redeemed!
Jesus warns us over and over again about deception. In Matthew 24:4-6, 11, 24 we see some of these warnings to us. Christ reminds us that we must cling to the truth and be so familiar with God’s Word that we easily recognize things that would lead us from the truth of God.
