Sermon 19: Living in Anticipation of the Coming of Christ

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28

Theme: The simple instructions shows a unique beauty in the body of Christ.

The church is made up of Christians, but a group of Christians don’t make it a Church (1 Cor 12:18, 24)

25 Brethren, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

There is a uniqueness to the body of Christ

I. You are asked to pray – especially for the ministers (v. 25)

Key verses: 2 Thess 3:1; 2 Cor 1:11

II. You are asked to treat one another as family (v. 26)

Key verses: John 13:34, 35; Rom 12:10; Eph 4:1-4

III. You are asked to be listeners of God’s Word (v. 27)

Think of the timeless value of this book.

What is good for one Church has benefits for all
