Passage: Philippians 2:5-9 Jesus was fully God, with all the power, glory, and authority that comes with it, yet He chose to set it all aside and come as a humble slave. That wasn't weakness; that was the most radical act of love the world has ever seen. And now Paul says: that's the attitude we're called to live by. Three praiseworthy attributes of Christ the humble slave 1: Christ the humble slave was: Equal with God 2: Christ the humble slave was: Empty of Self 3: Christ the humble slave was: Entirely Obedient

Passage: The Gospels Jesus is the rightful yet humble King. He is the worthy ruler of our lives, and He is worthy to be obeyed.

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 Five responsibilities every member of the church carries toward one another, so that we might be found ready at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Warn the Wrong 2 Encourage the Discouraged 3 Help the Weak 4 Endure with Longsuffering 5 Do Good Always

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 In a dark disrupted world, the health of the church firstly, depends on the congregation's loving, work-grounded recognition and extraordinary esteem of its Christ-appointed, labor-defined leaders, which in turn produces genuine communal peace.

the thread that runs from the first verse to the last: because you belong to the day, live like children of the day.  Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Paul unfolds this in three movements. First, he describes the day that will shatter the world's false peace. (vv. 1-3) Second, he declares the identity that sets believers apart from the darkness. (vv. 4-5) Third, he lays out the life that befits the children of God. (vv. 6-11) The call: Live Wide Awake in a World Fast Asleep

As history continues to unfold the eternally planned purposes of God, one event looms large on the horizon: The Day of the Lord. The Thessalonians were worried that they missed it. Therefore Paul answers them providing certainty that they didn't.
