Sermon 15: Living in Anticipation of the Coming of Christ

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:14, 15

Theme: The church is full of people needing to be ministered to.

What we expect is not always what we find. The problem is when we go into a church we don’t expect to find any problems. What does God’s Word have to say about that?

How would you describe the disciples? What would you expect to see? (Matt 26)

Every church had sin mentioned

The unruly – ready to rebel, undisciplined, bad testimony – one who needs confronted

The feebleminded – discouraged, worried, emotions – one who needs encouragement

The weak – without strength (phy/spirit/emotion) – one who needs counseling or extra care

Those we need to suffer long w/ - offensive – one who needs time

Those that you feel like getting even w/ - one who needs mercy
