August 17th, 2014 in the 8:30 AM service.
Scripture: Acts 17:1-9; 2nd Thessalonians 1:1-12, 2:1-17,
3:1-18
Topic: Defense Plan
Notes:
- Mature believers can lift up young believers.
- There are 3 punches that the Christians receive living here.
- (1) Persecution: Satan wants to get you off your mark, Be
careful. Jesus came for the sin sick people. The person who rejects
Jesus has no end. The end of every one’s life is death; eternal
judgment. Your best day is when you live for eternity by denying
yourself and follow Jesus.
- (2) Confusion: The spirit of lawlessness is already at work.
Don’t be dismay. Jesus will deal with it. When under persecution
God will first move you out of his way.
- (3) Discouragement: So many talk Jesus but don’t walk Jesus. Do
not grow weary by doing good. Back away from people who are walking
in disobedience. Leisure time increase our sin. Work for your
living. Follow God’s word. Tell your family or friends when they
are doing wro0ng but still love them.
- Humble yourself and seek God in this land. We need to stand
together hands in hand to see the wrong in our land. God sees it
all. Trust God in confusion. He will never leave us or forsake
us.
