This week's handout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZnNkj8F14rO9ujk60uz2M7_fsMU4riFr/view?usp=sharing
In this powerful message, Pastor Justin walks through 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:11, showing how believers can live with both hope and holiness as we await the return of Christ. Paul reminds the church that our confidence in the future is anchored in the resurrection of Jesus. Because He rose, we can face death and the unknown with faith, courage, and expectation.
Message Outline
I. The Comfort of Hope (4:13–18)
II. The Call to Readiness (5:1–11)
III. The Culture of Readiness
Last week we learned what it means to live a life that pleases God. This week, Paul shifts from holy living to hopeful living. The Thessalonian believers were concerned about those who had died before Christ’s return, but Paul writes to bring comfort and clarity.
We grieve, but not without hope. We wait, but not without purpose. We live, but not without readiness.
Key Truths
– Hope anchors the grieving heart.
– Faith lifts the waiting soul.
– Encouragement is how we wait well.
– You don’t have to get ready if you stay ready.
A church that stands strong is a church that stays ready. Hope produces holiness. Faith produces focus. Love produces endurance.
Watch this message to be reminded that Jesus is coming again and to discover how to live ready every day until He does.
