Sermon 7: Living in Anticipation of the Coming of Christ
Text: 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13
Theme: A pastor’s care for the Church should be evident.
2 Cor 11: 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Phil 2:20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
I. A Pastor is concerned for your fellowship (vv. 6-10a)
Timothy gives his report
Paul gives his response
There is a fellowship and a relationship between Paul and these believers
FELLOWSHIP IS THE BRIDE OF DOCTRINE
II. A Pastor is concerned for your faith & love (vv. 10b-13)
A pastor’s concern must focus on their faith and love
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. Gal 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
So, if this is the pastor’s responsibility what are you to do?
