Sunrise Church

Worship is an act or response to God’s movement: thanks for EVERY thing and praise for who He is and His work. When we gather to worship, we experience the goodness of the presence of God among His people and have an opportunity to offer praise back to Him together.

Idleness is not merely a failure to work, but a failure to steward the time that God has given to each of us for His glory.

Does the endurance of Christ and the love of God draw us into the faithfulness of God and His promised protection and deliverance from evil men and, thereby, lead us to call out for God to speed ahead the gospel message?

God’s elect find comfort in the gospel and are sanctified to perform the work of proclaiming that gospel...the comfort and hope we receive by God’s grace translate into real world comfort.

Intrigue about the end of days can lead to deception by false teachers and undermine confidence among the weak.

In suffering God is making us worthy of His kingdom, our preparation for the coming King is focused and for our affliction we have a Father who will not let the afflictions we have suffered go unpunished.

Paul commends the Thessalonians for their growing faith, their increasing love and their steadfast endurance; Christians should seek the same today.

Paul's short exhortations at the end of the first letter to the Thessalonians serve as helpful guides to our response to God’s grace in our lives.

The imagination of too many Christians is captured by the unpredictable part of Christ's coming instead of comforted by the inevitable part.

The certainty of Christ’s return gives us hope and our individual hope informs our encouragement to one another.
