Standing Firm in the Lord 1 Thessalonians 3 Encouraged in Your Faith Series

I. Troubles and Temptations 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5 Paul unable to return to Thessalonica Sent Timothy  Encourage them in their faith  Keep from being shaken by troubles

The trouble or triumph with troubles Destined for troubles – don’t understand – if faithful Faith tested - weary Opportunity for temptations  H-hungry  A-angry  L-lonely  T-tired

II. Standing Firm in the Lord 1 Thessalonians 3:6-10 Good news about your faith and love Faith tested – completing James 1:3-4 (NLT) 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

1 Peter 1:7 (NLT) 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

Jude 1:24 (NLT) 24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. Jude 1:24 (NASB) 24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,
