1. Churches and Their Mission
(1:1-2)
In Paul's second letter to the
Thessalonians he address it from
Silas. Timothy and himself Paul
poi nts out that they are a called group
w ho has a personal relationship with
God. the father, through His son,
Jesus Christ. Only those who are
blood washed can call God father.
God is the C reator of all, but he is not
the Father of all.
The Grace of God is God's
unmerited favor toward sinners which
brings peace to man. God givers to us
a peace that passes all understanding.
When there is peace in the
church, the work of God can be promoted
without being hindered.
11. Trials and Their Impact (11
Thess. 1:3-4)
Trials in our lives bring forth
strong faith and growth. Paul commended
the Church at Thessalonica
for their stand through trials and
persecutions. It was appropriate for
Paul to express thanks for their
strength in the faith.
Being a church that triumphed in
trials and persecution, Paul gave
thanks to God for their strength.
Sometimes it is good to give thanks
to those who stand strong in the faith,
but we must do it in a way that God
is glorified and lifted up.
111. Unbelievers and their
Judgment (1:5-10)
After a prayer of thanksgiving for
the Saints and their worthiness before
God, Paul goes on to remind
them there will be a day of judgment
for those who have persecuted them.
The people of God may suffer at the
hands of the ungodly but one day they
will receive their just reward. Paul
reminded the Saints that God would
repay those who had caused them
trouble. Many times we are hurt by
those who are ungodly just because
they can, but there will be a reckoning
day for them.
Paul rocs on to say that one day
the judgment of God will come into
full \icw and those who are faithful
will be at rest away from trouble and
persecution On the other hand those
who have been troublesome to the
Saints will receive the judgment of
righteous God When Jesus conies in
glory the whole world will know that
he is the Christ, the son of the li\ ing
God Today Jesus is saviour, one day
soon He will be judge toall those w ho
do not belies e
Often we wonder w hy the w icked
and ungodly prosper and get by w uli
doing wrong When Jesus conies in
judgment, justice will be carried out
fairly There will be no pay ofTs to
judges and politicians Every man
will bejudged according to his deeds
and receive his punishment accordingly
All w ho have rejected the gospel
of Jesus Christ w ill be punished
for everlasting destruction separated
from the presence of God forever
To the Saints. Paul gives encouragement
for us all. Those who accepted
the gospel of Christ because of
the testimony of Paul and others will
sec the glorified Christ and spend
eternity with Hint Thank God for the
blessed hope that the Child of God
has in Christ Jesus
IV. Believers and Their
Fulfillment (1:11-12)
Paul's prayer for the believers at
Thessalonica was that they would
follow God willing that their life
would be worthy regardless of the
persecution and trials that they faced
God saved us for Christ's sake but he
wants us to live our lives to the fullest
in Him. In order to do that w hich is
pleasing to God and have fulfillment,
we must allow Him to work in
us and through us to accomplish the
work He is doing.
The ultimate goal for us is to
glorify the name of Jesus Christ
through our lives. Jesus is worthy of
glory because HE redeemed us from
sin that we could be reconciled to
God The Grace of God (God's
unmerited favor to man) allows us to
love, worship and obey Him
Unsaved friend, God wantsto save
you for Christ's sake. From God's
word we find that those who trouble
God's people and reject the gospel of
Jesus Christ will face thejudgment of
God. There will be no escape from
the righteous judgment of God when
it comes to those who arc unbeliev ers.
Many times in our court system
justice is bought with money, but in
the court of God. you cannot buy
justice.
The price for man's justification
was paid at Calvary almost 2000
years ago. God has prepared the way
for you to enter heaven through His
son Jesus Christ. Turn from your sins
now. Ask God's forgiveness and accept
Jesus Christ as your personal
saviour. He's your saviour now, one
day He w ill be your judge if you fail
to repent
God bless you until next week
Pray for us!.

Last issue we talked about cold
s> mptoms in children As promised
tins issue we will talk about how to
deal with frequent colds The first
thing to remember is that if your
child is gaining to be good As mentioned
last week, it is common for
kids to have cold symptoms, especially
in the first year of life Children
get over colds by themselves
Although you can reduce the sy mptoms
with medication you cannot
shorten the course of the cold Remember
as parents that the long term
outlook for kids having colds is good
The number of colds will decrease
over the years as your child's body
builds up a good immunity to various
cold viruses
A good rule of thumb is that your
child can return to school or preschool
when the fever is gone and the
sy mptoms a re not distracti ng to classmates.
Gym activities or teen sports
may need to be postponed for several
daysuntil yourchild feels well enough
to participate in these It docs not
make sense to keep a child home
until there is no more virus being
spread because this could take 2 to 3
weeks. Children shed germs during
the first few days of their cold illness,
before they even look sick or have
. . ' _ ' *'
symptoms In other words contact
with respiratory infection is unavoidable
in group settings such as school
or daycare
When both parents work, repeated
colds are extremely inconvenient and
costly Since the complication rate is
low and the improvement rate is slow .
do not hesitate to leave your child
with someone else at these times,
perhaps a babysistcr who is willing to
care for a child for a child with a
fever. In general your child may go
back to daycare when the fever is ,
gone There is no reason to prolong
the recovery at home if you need to
return to work.
Remember, there is no instant
cure for recurrent colds and other
viruses Antibiotics do not help un-,
less your child has developed a complication
caused be bacteria, such as
ear infection, sinus infection, or pneumonia.
Remember that colds are not
caused by poor diet, lack of vitamins,
bad weather, air conditioners, or wet
feet. Remember also that the besttime
to have these inevitable cold
infections and to develop immunity.
is during childhood.
That is all on cold symptoms.
Take care We will talk again next
