2021-07-191h 23PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 Sexual immorality part 2In part one of this message, we discovered what the Biblical standard for sexuality is. Anything outside of a marriage between one man, and one woman, for life, is sexual immorality. And sexual immorality also includes our thoughts and motives. In part 2 of this message, we look at how Paul advised Christians to uphold this standard. It's one thing to set a high standard of purity, it's another to keep that standard. And keeping it begins with changing the way that you think.
2021-07-1259 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 Sexual immoralityAccording to Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica, Christians are supposed to "abstain from sexual immorality."

In all of the messages, I have emphasized that what you believe impacts your joy. One belief we discussed was your beliefs about time and space. If you believe that this life now is all that there is, then if your present life is bad, and there is no possibility of changing it, then you can have no joy. But if you believe that this life is just a very short prelude to an eternity in heaven, then the pain of this life is...

2021-06-2347 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Joy part 3As we continue in this study of 1 Thessalonians we are discovering that the Church is supposed to be a people of joy and that our joy comes out of our beliefs.The beliefs that we are starting with today concern life priorities. A Christian will not have joy if their priorities are out of sync with Biblical priorities. And Biblical priorities are simple; put Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself third, then you can have JOY.

In this message, we learn that what we believe about our enemy, Satan, impacts our joy. We learn three truths here about Satan; he is active in this world, we have to discern between the work of Satan and the work of God...
2021-06-211h 01PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:13-3:17 A People of JoyThe Church is supposed to be a people of joy. That would seem to be a statement that could go without being said. But, very often, we find those who call themselves "the Church" to be dour and mournful, not joyful.There are plenty of reasons to grieve about the spiritual condition of our world. But there are also many reasons to be joyful. We are continuing in our study of 1 Thessalonians by looking at chapters 2 through 3; The Church, A People of Joy.

That is what we learn from Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica. They received the Word of God preached to them and God changed their lives.There you have the two things that make true Christianity controversial; we believe the Bible to be God's Word, and we live our lives by it. And the world hates that.

And the first thing we discovered in Paul's 1st letter to Thessalonica, was that the church is supposed to be a people of encouragement.We're not just talking about encouraging people to be whatever they want to be, or encouraging them to "be the best you, you can be."We encourage each other in our walk to become like Christ. In this sermon, we found encouragement in 3 doctrines of the Church; election, the Holy Spirit, and Our Assurance.

So, when it seems as though we have lost some of the cultural and political battles in this country, what then is an American Christian to do?

But now, we find ourselves hated by many around us because of those same values. So what do we do? As Christians we need to get back to the basics; Love, Forgiveness, and for this message, the Word of God.

And in many places around our nation, they are doing the opposite. Rioters are being applauded, and the police are insulted and threatened.

Except that the Cross of Christ separated us from the world, made us a new creation, and guaranteed our forever home.
