Alêtheia Christian Fellowship ~~ September 9, 2007
 
*1 Thessalonians 5:14-18 ~~* 14We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
15See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
16Rejoice always; 17pray without ceasing; 18in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
*/Leadership ~~ or ~~ Community ~~ or ~~ Individual???/*
*/How about all three…/* Chrysostom, (Antioch 349, Bishop of Constantinople-407)
* *
*Admonish the unruly*
Imperative form of, “Give you *instruction*.”
“The undisciplined” is ajtakto>v, military term for a soldier who *breaks ranks* in battle thus jeopardizing the whole unit.
In this context it undoubtedly refers to those who refuse to work.
These people needed informed admonishment which demonstrated how such behavior was *morally wrong and out of order* with the principles of the Scripture.
\\ *Encourage the fainthearted*
Little-soul-ed, ojligo>yucov, (oligarchy = rule by few) \\ \\ *Help the weak* \\        Without strength, same word in James translated as      sick \\ \\
*Be patient with everyone* \\        When one deals with the disorderly, the discouraged,      and the weak, patience or longsuffering is certainly a     needed quality = makroqumew, which literally     means   “long-anger.”
*Resistance*, active or passive, to admonition,        exhortation or instruction, imposes a strain upon those     who seek the welfare of the saints, hence the need.
We must not withdraw or become *aloof with those    who try our patience*, which is the natural tendency.
\\ *See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.*
\\        kako<n ajnti< kakou~~

       The “*always*” is emphatic.
Man’s tendency is to look       for *loopholes* to excuse the bad behavior of taking    matters into his own hands.
He did not simply say, “do” or “practice,” but “pursue.”
This is diw>kw, which means “to hasten, run, chase    after, press on, is eager expenditure of all one’s    energies.”
\\ *Rejoice always* \\        *Attitude* based on *perspective* based on *belief* \\ \\
*Pray without ceasing* \\        If we have *Joy we will turn to God* in prayer
\\ *In everything give thanks*
       If we pray – entering God’s presence we will become       thankful!
*Thankfulness is based on faith* and thanklessness    is based on unbelief – Thankful people look at what’s       *right – positive – good – they see God not Satan*
       God not Satan behind every bush, in every person and directing every event.
*       Who do you see?*
 
*1 Thessalonians 5:19-28 ~~* 19Do not quench the Spirit; 20do not despise prophetic utterances.
21But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; 22abstain from every form of evil.
23Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.
25Brethren, pray for us.
26Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
27I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Do not quench the Spirit \\ \\ Do not despise prophetic utterances \\ \\ But examine everything carefully \\ \\ Hold fast to that which is good \\ \\ Abstain from every form of evil \\ \\ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely… Faithful is He who calls you
