The Cross

“For what

First Thessalonians 2:19

is our

1.  hope, our

2.  joy, or the

3.  crown

End:

in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ when he comes? Is it not you?”

Memories

“He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.” – First Thessalonians 3:6

The Cross

“For  you know that we dealt with each of you

First Thessalonians 2:11,12

Intr.:

as a father deals with his own children,

1.  encouraging,

2.  comforting and

3.  urging you to live lives worthy of of God,

End;

who calls you into his kingdom and glory.”

A mask

“You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed – God is our witness.” – First Thessalonians 2:5

The Cross

“You are witnesses,

First Thessalonians 2:10

Intr.:

and so is God, of how

1.  holy,

2.  righteous and

3.  blameless

End:

we were among you who believed.”
