Someone has said that love is the spiritual lubricant that keeps life running smoothly. That’s true, and as we’ll discover today, it was the secret to the success of the Church in the first century. In First Thessalonians chapter four verses nine through twelve, we learn that love is not only evidence of life in the Lord and a true knowledge of Him, but also evidence that we are truly His disciples.

astor Al Pittman is taking us through First Thessalonians right now, and we’re studying chapter four. Here the apostle Paul describes the Believer’s Walk. We’ll learn through this study how to walk in a God-pleasing manner. We most certainly need encouragement in this area as we’re bombarded with messages to go in the opposite direction in the world as we know it.

Do you ever feel as though your not up to the task, that you just don’t have the ability to do something? The marvelous thing about the Christian life is that we are not called to rely on our own sufficiency, but rather on the sufficiency of Christ. Pastor Al will address several precepts today that will help us get on a road to ministry that is beyond our natural abilities.

A British publication once offered a prize for the best definition of a friend. The winning definition read: "A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out." This is the kind of friend the apostle Paul was to the Thessalonians. They held a special place in his heart, that’s for sure. Yet, there were some who questioned his loyalty to them. His response is a valuable lesson in friendship for us all.

A promise we don’t often claim is that those who seek to live godly lives will suffer persecution. This was true of the Thessalonian Christians, and yet they stood firm in persecution for the gospel’s sake. But that raises the question, why does the gospel arouse such opposition? As we will hear on today’s broadcast, the gospel ignores all human achievement.
