Sermon 3: The Mandate of Responsibility II Thessalonians 3:10–12 "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread." Description: Responsibility is a word rarely loved in today's culture. We live in a society that wants the benefits without the burdens, the privileges without the price. Yet the Christian faith is built upon responsibility—responsibility before God, responsibility to others, and responsibility to oneself. Paul addresses this head-on in Thessalonica. He warns against idleness and issues one of the most practical commands in all of Scripture: "If any would not work, neither should he eat." In "The Mandate of Responsibility." Paul outlines what it means to stand, work, lead, and protect as responsible Christians. Don't forget your FIVE DAY devotional for this sermon

Series: Great Is the Mystery of Godliness Part 1: The Foundation and Framework of Godliness 1 Timothy 3:14–15 "These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." The Apostle Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy while pastoring in Ephesus, a bustling city filled with paganism, trade, and idolatry. Towering above the landscape stood the magnificent Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — held up by over a hundred marble pillars. It was the pride of the city, the centre of false worship, and the picture Paul uses when he writes that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth. Paul's purpose is simple: the local church must reflect the living God in both belief and behaviour.
Beloved, the world's deadliest drug mocks nations, ruins homes, and destroys souls. But the Spirit of God still transforms lives. The same Jesus who turned water into wine at Cana can turn sinners into saints today. He can cleanse, restore, and renew. "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Don't be deceived — be delivered. Don't be drunk — be filled. Don't be mocked — be marked as God's child.
Taking Responsibility - Part 2 2 Thessalonians 3:8–9 "Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us." If you were to ask the average person today what defines a good testimony, you would hear a variety of answers—"be nice," "don't judge," "live your truth." Yet the Apostle Paul had a very different standard. In 2 Thessalonians 3:8–9, Paul reminds the believers that he had lived among them with integrity, working night and day so as not to be a burden. He could have rightly claimed support as an apostle, but he chose to model sacrificial labor. Why? Because he knew that our testimony before others—both in the church and in the world—either strengthens or weakens the gospel.

Intentionality is one of those words that sounds simple, but it carries a lot of weight. At its root, intentionality means living, thinking, speaking, or acting with purpose. It's the opposite of drifting through life on autopilot.
