Do You Care?
1 Thessalonians 2:13-3:13 & 2 Thessalonians 1 \\ \\
Introduction
Gave me a large section with so much in it.
There are at least 3 or 4 good sermons here
I won’t preach them all today.
It is almost a narrative of Paul’s relationship with the Thessalonians after he left them.
We see his heart for them.
We see Paul’s great concern for the Thessalonians in this passage.
As we examine his concern, we will be challenged to examine how much we care about the spiritual needs of others.
Often we care about ourselves, we care about the physical needs of others, when they are sick, but do we care about the spiritual condition of others enough to encounter them at that level?
It is good to care for each other.
Health concerns, job concerns relationship concerns.
Sometimes we are more reluctant to express spiritual concerns.
I.
Reason for Concern
Paul had brought the gospel to them
Then had to leave
Persecution came
Satan’s tricks and temptations
Do we take the time and have the concern to see what there might be in the life of others that would be a spiritual concern?
II.
Paul’s Desire For Them
He had a goal in mind for them, some things that he wanted to happen in them.
He mentions them in the course of the text.
Steadfastness
Love
Holiness
These are good goals which we should have for each other
CE Description of a Discipled Person
What hopes do we have for one another?
III.
Paul’s Actions Due To Concern
Paul didn’t only worry about them and express his hope for them, he did something about it.
Actions arose out of a heart that cared.
We notice his agitation
This is about love, love for each others.
Passion for Excellence talks about business success when someone has a passion for their area.
Shouldn’t our passion be the spiritual care of others?
Admittedly these are pastoral concerns, but are we not pastors to each others in some sense?
If we are active in sharing the gospel, there are people we have led to the Lord, who we teach in SS or elsewhere.
Sending Timothy
Writing letter
Praying To see them and impart more
Telling them that persecutors will be dealt with by God
Hope of believers
Praying for them
Recognition of God’s actions
What are we doing to demonstrate our spiritual concern for others?
Conclusion
What we are talking about here is love for each other.
A love that goes beyond the surface to the things that really matter.
There was progress and he thanked God for it.
Another lesson!
They came to faith, thank God
The Trials Of Faith
Persecution
The Work Of The Tempter
Paul’s Deep Concern
Agitation of his soul for them
Help Sent in Timothy
To strengthen and encourage
Persecution is normal
The good report
Love for the apostles
Faith, standing firm in the Lord
Desire to impart more
Wish Prayer
We can come to you
Love increase
Blameless and holy
Answer to prayer
Faith is growing
Love is increasing
God will punish the evildoers, He is just
Believers will glory in and marvel at the Lord when he comes
Prayer for more
Worthy of his calling
Name of Jesus glorified in you.
January 23 The Witness Of Love 1 Thessalonians 2:13-3:13 & 2 Thessalonians 1 \\ George Toews \\ Love brings a godly quality to our living, most clearly seen when tested.
\\ Loves greatest witness is revealed when tough times come.
It is based in \\ action makes a visible difference.
The challenge of love is not the \\ feeling but the radical commitment.
We are radically loved, we understand \\ this in Jesus, and our love for Jesus is expressed in our radical love for \\ each other.
! Ideas to follow
The heart of Paul, his love for the people of Thessalonica,
Love for one another
Concern for love and for holiness and faithfulness
A judgement day coming when those who now persecute the saints will be punished
Do we care?
For others, for their spiritual state as Paul does
Example of Paul
Judgement day coming
Danger of falling away
The central concerns of faith are love, orthodoxy and holiness.
I Thessalonians 2:13-3:13
2:13-16
we thank God because
you received the Word of God as the Word of God
you became imitators of the churches in Judea
you suffered persecution
