Work is a Gift and Command from God | Part 17

Passage: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12

Preacher: Philip Chapman

Series:Ready

Detail:

1.  God didn't command work because of the curse.
     You and I work so that...
        ●  We can glorify the Father.
        ●  We can fulfill our lives.
        ●  We can feed ourselves and our families.
        ●  We can contribute to the flock and community.

2.  Some Christian Thessalonians didn't work because...
        ●  Work was demeaning to people in the Greek world.
        ●  They believed the day of the Lord was coming soon.

3.  Paul gave the Thessalonians several reasons to work.
     These reasons included...
        ●  Fellowship with other members of the church.
        ●  Feeding themselves.
        ●  Fleeing from idleness.
