December 17 Sermon: Hold Fast
As we look at the Apostle Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, we see the emphasis on living a holy life while awaiting the return of Jesus. Paul encourages rejoicing, prayer, and thanksgiving in all circumstances. He also stresses the Holy Spirit's role in sanctifying believers, leading them to live blameless lives. Paul's assurance of God's faithfulness in completing his good work in believers provides comfort and hope.
Consider these questions as you listen to this week's message:
1. How can we overcome the tension between rejoicing in the coming of Jesus and feeling unprepared for personal judgment?
2. How can we cultivate a mindset rooted in the gospel that enables us to rejoice, pray, and give thanks in all circumstances?
3. What practical steps can we take to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, avoiding quenching His fire and embracing His sanctifying work?
