Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:14-20

Topic: Holy Living

Notes:

- Our hearts are prone to wander away from God- Too many things have an attraction to us, a power over us, that would not if we kept our eyes on Jesus; be filled with the Holy Spirit- Preachers who fell... none of us exempt- Don’t want to fail God, destroying family and losing my testimony- Satan catches us off guard; we need to realize what’s happening- All devil needs to trip you up is to create reasonable doubt- Cast down imaginations- The Word of God (truth) is our greatest weapon... will set you free- Men lie & deceive.- Spirit filled man should never have to go to a bar for relief/relaxation- So-called Christians are doing the same things as the world- Women will dress provocatively; even Christian women want to be attractive to someone- There will always be something there to hinder you; fight every day- There are things you can’t do and places you can’t go Holy Living

Scripture: I Thessalonians 2

Topic: Servanthood

Notes:

- There is a common distrust of preachers- True ministers of the gospel love people but do not woo them- The pastor is to take care of the people; not vice-versa- False doctrines, teachers... crooks taking advantage- The local congregation is what God established, what people need...- The body of Christ must come together for church- “Don’t know how much longer I have”- Have a heart for the people under this ministry, can’t get away from it; it is part of the calling; a pastor always affected by the people- Must set an example; do as unto Christ.- Have begged people not to marry, go into business, move away...- The flesh is always bent towards sin; stay on your knees- Alcohol lowers inhibitions and old self rises up- Mid-life crisis, money, lust...- Sin... you don’t ever think it will get to this. Servanthood

Scripture:

Topic: Communion

Notes:

- Jesus made this simple; we complicate it with symbols and rules- When you do unto God because you love God, blessing will come- Go to church to thank God with worship & sacrifice- Live a life of thanksgiving and sacrifice- Respond to His love- Jesus gave His life for us; He is coming again and wants us to get the world ready- Giving is worship

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1

Topic: Holy Living

Notes:

- Bible not originally divided into chapter & verse- Paul heard Thessalonians were suffering then got a good report- 3 proofs of salvation: faithful work, loving deeds, enduring hope- Thessalonians preaching the word everywhere they went; reputation of hospitality and of radical change... turned from idols to God- God is not into symbols but pure relationship with Jesus- We must deny one faith to declare another, not mixing faiths- What have you turned from that makes people talk- The line of distinction between the world and church is blurred- The church is known for begging and scandal- No such thing as a Christian business; Christians must act like Jesus when conducting business- There ought to be a marked difference in my life when I meet Jesus- Come out of the world system or share in its sin and the wrath- Most preaching prepares people to stay... getting more to live better

Show notes

2010-09-19-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening September 19th, 2010 in the 6:00 service.

Scripture:

Topic: Brokenness

Notes:

- We spend most of our lives trying to make things happen, using people, money...- Every trial God sends is meant to take a bit of our self-sufficiency- Trials intensify until we surrender; we’ll never have peace until...- We insist God move, etc... But God has a plan. Surrender to it and let Him work it out.- We are still full of the flesh- The potter is sovereign. - We should have no goal but to know Christ and to be usable

Scripture: Philippians 1:12-14; Psalm 105:16-19; Jeremiah 48:11; Acts 16:22-26; James 1:2

Topic: Suffering

Notes:

- What impact has your reaction to your problems had on others?- God used people in trouble to write His word: Paul wrote as a prisoner chained to a praetorian guard- If it doesn’t come out of pain, it doesn’t produce- We all have trouble in our lives; somebody else’s pain is bigger- God’s plan is to bring Jesus into glory, that we follow Him, and that the gospel be increased- Statistics of Paul’s opportunities to minister to guards- American Christians are not suffering as those in other nations- People are looking for an example of the believer- Joseph... why am I going through this?- Do I believe what He said? Do I act like I believe?- What will I do in these chains?- We would rather be delivered from than developed in this- Moab at ease, settled on his dregs (not poured from vessel to vessel)- We want to be left alone but need to poured out again and again until nothing is left but wine- Paul & Silas praised the Lord anyway; there are prisoners all around... the greatest impact you’ll have is when you lift Him up
