    This sermon tells us to rejoyce always - but there are seven aspects of 1 Thess. 5:16-22 that we need to apply to life.

    Radical Rejoicing Text: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies.

    Give Thanks

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006

    We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

    Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

    We get upset and walk around focusing on those things that do not go the way we want them to. But is being unhappy what God wants for us?

    All of us want to be happy in our lives, don’t we? That might be one reason a person would go to church; to find happiness. But have you ever really thought what happiness includes? Happiness includes a feeling of peace within your heart. Happiness includes a feeling of calmness when all around ...read more

    Relationships With Leaders, One Another And God.

    Paul instructs the Church concerning their relationships with their leaders, with one another (calling them to be very patient) and with God.

    So we come this week to the end of St. Paul’s first letter to the church in Thessalonica; and I’m sure it’s worth reminding ourselves that Paul wrote this letter to the people of the church. He did not write his letter to the leaders of the church. He wrote it to the Church. The letter began like ...read more

    Possibly the greatest sin of the church in America in this generation is the failure to be grateful for the blessings that we have. The Scripture commands us to have thankful hearts, but it is the Spirit that gives us the perspective whereby we experience
