The use of Scripture in the early church
God continues to add to the number of believers including women and Greeks
The world turned upside down
Another story of things being turned upside down
When Jesus does the flipping it is for our good.
Jesus came to change the world forever.
To restore all nations back to Himself.
To bring His people out of sin and darkness and into His marvelous light.
For Jesus, flipping Jewish culture on its head wasn’t enough.
He was changing the world forever.
How has Jesus turned your life upside down?
What is it about the world that needs to be flipped?
The World Vs.
Christ
When we lived according to the world we were enemies of God.
Don’t be tricked the world does not want you happy.
It offers fleeting moments of happiness but according to verse 2 who is the one offering those things?
Living in the world leads to death.
Lies of the culture:
“Put yourself first” and Jesus’ response
“Follow your heart” and Jesus’ response
“All sex is good” and Jesus’ response
Flee every kind of sexual immorality (pornography, sex before marriage, homosexuality, all of it.)
Guard your hearts against it.
Don’t put yourself in positions to fall to temptation.
Fight for purity.
Sex is a gift from God that satan perverts and distorts.
He uses it a stumbling block to draw us away from sanctification.
He takes what God created, the sacred bond of marriage between a man and a woman and the intimacy shared between them, and he desecrates it.
He makes the holy unholy by trying to convince us homosexuality or pornography are to be celebrated and seen as natural.
Our relationship with Christ is one of self-denial.
It is no longer our lives to live, Christ lives in us.
If our bodies are temples than we should treat them as sacred.
As Jesus tossed the tables in the temple we should throw out anything that hinders our relationship with Jesus.
Christ calls us to purity not because He hates us or doesn’t understand our struggles.
He calls us to purity because He knows that it is best for us.
He never holds us in condemnation or shame but brings us up in His grace and mercy in sanctification.
Christs commands are for our good and for the good of all.
It is never to late to live in purity and integrity.
“You don’t need accountability” and Jesus’ response
“Holiness is overrated” and Jesus’ response
Satan cannot satisfy us, he doesn’t ever intend to.
Like a dealer, he gets us hooked and dependent on him for our next fix.
He strings us along with empty promise after empty promise.
Christ offers us something sufficient for all our needs.
He gives us hope for eternity, joy in our circumstances, and freedom under grace.
How did Jesus turn the Thessalonians upside down?
From sexual immorality to sanctification
From lovers of status to brotherly love
From hopeless to hopeful
From drowsy to diligent
How is Jesus using us in His mission to the world?
Is Jesus your king?
If Jesus is your king what does that mean in the way you live your life?
The cost of following Christ for the Thessalonians and their commitment to the cause
Set the example for others in your life by following the example set before you by Jesus
