God bless, Malcolm6 min - S2: 1 Thessalonians | Teaching Class | Chapter 3vv6-13 | Delighting in one anotherA teaching class for the Watford and Thames Valley churches of Christ.
“But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.” (1 Thessalonians 3:6–13)
In this class, we take note of the delight Paul has for the Thessalonians and they have for him. What is the connection between the depth of relationships, and faith and love?

God bless, Malcolm6 min - S2 Ep293: Tuesday Teaching Tips | Episode 293 | “How to make personal sharing meaningful and not manipulative” | Malcolm CoxIntroduction
- In my last two sermons for the Watford church of Christ and the Thames Valley churches of Christ I including some vulnerable personal sharing about a recent incident in my life. I noticed it had a profound effect on both groups, even causing some people to cry. Afterwards they came up to me to thank me. I apologised for making them cry, but they thanked me again, saying it was healing. So today I thought I would post a brief recording on how we use such sharing to help people, rather than manipulate them. I assume we are agreed on the value of personal sharing, so I will restrict myself to comments on best practices.
1. Aim to help other people, not yourself- The aim is not to cause people to feel something for you as the speaker, but to help them.
- Sometimes, in our insecurity, we share personally, because we want people to like us
- Sharing with a group is only helpful if the fact of sharing helps, not when looking for acceptance from the group.
- Ask yourself the question, “Am I sharing this because I want people to connect with me, or to connect with God?”
2. Aim to point to God, not to obscure him- The personal sharing must connect with scripture, God as father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit.
- If it's really just about you it will not helping the word of God land in peoples hearts.
- Ask yourself the question, “In what way is this personal sharing helping people to connect with God?”
3. Aim to inspire, not to shock- Be careful about making your stories too emotionally intense, or graphic. If the emotional impact is too high, people find it hard to truly hear what you are saying. They react on an emotional level with your sharing and the point gets lost in all the noise of the emotions.
- Ask yourself the question, “Will this sharing prevent people from engaging with the point I'm making?”
Conclusion- Authenticity is "the sharing of self by relating in a natural, sincere, spontaneous, open and genuine manner." I Thought it was just me, Brene Brown
- “You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness.” (1 Thessalonians 2:5 NIV11)
- Our aim is authenticity and helpfulness.
