TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JULY 12, 2023
Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at 9:25AM Pleasing to God
Today is July 12, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
When we will see someone face to face and want to be pleasing to that person, what do we do? How do we act?
Well, for Apostle Paul, since he firmly believed that we would one day see the Lord face to face, he challenged the church of Thessalonica to be pleasing to the Lord now.
And how do we please the Lord now? Well by...
being sanctified,
avoiding sexual immorality,
controlling our bodies,
not wronging others,
not taking advantage of others,
being holy, & by
loving one another
This is what Apostle Paul urged the church to do more and more. But, Apostle Paul doesn't end his list here. Apostle Paul also includes how we as a local church should please the Lord. How, as a church, we should
be at peace with the community,
do the work of the church, &
not be a burden but a blessing.
These are the things that we can do to please the Lord.
And the fact that some of the items on his list are an us and God thing, and some of the items on his list are an us and people thing, and some of the items on his list are an us and church thing; means, to please the Lord, we need to be doing all three.
God's blessing upon you as you mediate on what it means to please the Lord, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
