Obligated to Give Thanks (2 Thessalonians 1:3-4)

Title: Obligated to Give Thanks

Passage: 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

That Paul says he has a holy obligation to God in these verses ought to cause us to think for ourselves – am I under any such obligation to God? Yes, all believers are obligated to thank God. Why? To answer this, we must first answer why Paul feels an obligation of gratitude to God as he thinks of the Thessalonians. Why does Paul sense a duty to give thanks to God?

  1. For God’s Grace in General
  2. For God’s Spiritual Work in Believers
  3. For God’s Answering Prayer

Believers Entrusted to God (Acts 20:32)

Title: Believers Entrusted to God

Passage: Acts 20: 32

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Human efforts in ministry are finite. Circumstances change. People change. People move ; they die. How does a Minister leave Believers? I want you to see four lessons from Paul leaving the Ephesians elders in this passage:

  1. He Entrusts the Believers to God
  2. He Upholds God’s Gracious Word
  3. He Rests in what God’s Grace Will do
