What are we looking for, showing up each Sunday morning? A spiritual pep-rally? A seminary-style lecture? A session of psycho-therapy? A rebuke for our sorry performance? Paul's letter concludes with a bracing dose of encouragement! Let's reson together (Isaiah 1:18), and remember Jesus' warning: we should be careful how we listen (Luke 8:18).

As Paul's first leter to the Thessalonian church draws to a close, he wraps up with an overarching reminder of what life in God's family looks like. This is a template for what we often call "doing life together." I.e., we're in this text! Let's reason together (Isaiah 1:18), and remember Jesus' warning: we should be careful how we listen (Luke 8:18).

God's Word claims we have "everything we need" for godly, faith-based living (see 2 Peter 1). Does that even include when we face the end of the world, as we know it?

Two thousand years and significant cultural differences divide us and the Thessalonians. But essential living doesn't change; our challenges are echoes of theirs. And God's answers don't change, either.

Last Sunday we saw Scripture calling the church to holiness - or truly loving God. Today it calls her into deeper love to one another. Everything is to be undergirded with genuine love. It was true then; and it should be true today.

Today's text is a glimpse into the Apostle Paul's heart. We find there a deep commitment to the interlocking relationships in the Body of Christ, and how the Holy Spirit uses these for our good and God's glory. Is this our story, too? Let's reason together (Isaiah 1:18), and remember Jesus' warning: we should be careful how we listen (Luke 8:18).

The Church in Thessalonica, while not perfect, was in many ways a model fellowship. Today's text demonstrates how we should thank God for his gracious working in our local churches. And we should ask: is His working evidenced in our lives?

Where can one go to find clear, unbiased counsel on finding the right kind of church? How about the Bible? As we consider today's text, which contrasts false systems with genuine Gospel ministry, we should thin through our presuppositions about churches, including our own. Let's reason together (Isaiah 1:18), and remember Jesus' warning: we should be careful how we listen (Luke 8:18).

The model church was built on exemplary life-transformation that was lived out day-by-day. Is it possible to be that kind of church, in 2017, here in Houston?
