Awaiting the Day: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 - Michael Parker - 26.10.25 by Wollongong Baptist Church

Pastor Scott Bland, Godspeak's youth pastor, delivered a passionate sermon on God's will for believers: sanctification. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians, he emphasized that sanctification is not optional but a divine command to be set apart, transformed into Christ's image through the Holy Spirit's power. With humor and relatability, Bland shared personal anecdotes, like his wife's medicinal honey remedy, and cultural references, such as neighborhood Halloween displays, to illustrate the battle against worldly conformity. He urged the congregation to rejoice always, pray ceaselessly, and give thanks in all circumstances, aligning with Godspeak's anchored reading program and mission to live biblically in a dark world. The closing prayer called for surrender, trusting God's faithful promise to complete His sanctifying work.Reference Verses:Psalm 24 verse 1, John 6 verse 38, John 14 verse 12, Acts 10 verse 38, Romans 8 verses 11, 28, Romans 12 verse 2, Ephesians 1 verse 15, Philippians 1 verse 21, Philippians 2 verses 12–13, Philippians 4 verse 6, Colossians 1 verse 9, 1 Thessalonians 4 verses 3–8, 1 Thessalonians 5 verses 1–24, Hebrews 4 verse 12, 1 Peter 4 verses 1–2, 19, 1 John 4 verses 4, 18Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Notes Luke 19:1-10 Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler explore the readings for the week, focusing on the Gospel of Zacchaeus, the lament of Habakkuk, and insights from 2 Thessalonians. They discuss the often misunderstood nature of Zacchaeus' actions, the powerful protest against injustice found in Habakkuk's lament, and the encouragement offered to the early church in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes themes of justice, hospitality, community, and the importance of maintaining faith amidst societal challenges. Takeaways The podcast introduces the readings for the week, focusing on Zacchaeus, Habakkuk, and 2 Thessalonians. Zacchaeus is often misunderstood; his actions reflect a pre-existing commitment to justice rather than a conversion. The crowd's grumbling about Zacchaeus highlights societal judgments and the need for hospitality. Habakkuk's lament serves as a powerful protest against injustice, emphasizing the need for faith amidst turmoil. The call to write a vision in Habakkuk signifies the importance of clarity and hope in times of distress. 2 Thessalonians addresses the struggles of the early church, encouraging perseverance and faithfulness. The text warns against the temptation to revel in the suffering of others, promoting a message of grace instead. The podcast emphasizes the importance of community and the good works happening within congregations. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their worthiness and the value of their contributions to the church. The conversation highlights the need for a vision of hope and justice in the face of societal challenges.

Psalm 110:1-5,7 Psalm 115 Revelation 19:1-7 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com

Lauren Fletcher offers a deeply personal reflection on faith amid silence and struggle, grounded in 1 Thessalonians 5:17—“Never stop praying.” Through seasons of mental health battles, loss, and uncertainty, Lauren discovered a profound truth: even when we can’t hear God, He still hears us. This devotional reminds believers that prayer isn’t about perfect words or constant clarity—it’s about trust in a faithful God who listens, comforts, and moves on our behalf, even in the quiet. Highlights God hears every prayer, even when we can’t sense His presence or voice. Our past wounds may resurface, but God uses them to bring healing and intimacy with Him. Prayer doesn’t have to be long or eloquent—sometimes, a simple “Help me, Lord” is enough. The Holy Spirit and Jesus Himself intercede for us when we can’t find the words (Romans 8, John 17). Faith grows not in certainty, but in persistence—continuing to pray and believe when life feels silent. Join the Conversation Have you ever gone through a season where you couldn’t hear God clearly? How did you keep praying through it? Share your story to encourage others who are struggling to stay connected in faith.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work.” (2 Thessalonians 2:7) These words reveal that long before the final Antichrist appears, a spirit of rebellion has been shaping the hearts of men. It is the hidden lawlessness that wages war against the authority of God. This mystery began in heaven, when Lucifer—once perfect in beauty—allowed pride to corrupt wisdom. Since that fall, humanity has wrestled with this same darkness. The world does not just rebel—it resists divine truth. And that rebellion, now clothed in culture and ideology, prepares the way for the man of sin who will rise before Christ returns.

Fear is one of the most powerful emotions we face—especially when it comes to death and loss. In this honest daily prayer and devotional, Vivian Bricker shares her journey of learning to trust God after losing her mother and struggling with the deep, ongoing fear of death. Her words remind us that while death is an unavoidable part of life, we don’t face it alone. Through the promise of Isaiah 41:10, God calls us to release our fear and hold fast to His strength. He promises His presence, His help, and His upholding hand. When grief grips our hearts or anxiety clouds our thoughts, we can find comfort knowing that Jesus is with us—in life, in death, and forevermore. This episode encourages us to surrender our fears to the One who conquered death and to rest in the hope of eternal reunion with those we love. Today's Bible Reading:“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Questions about whether or not it's reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines were influenced by the fallen nature of the apostles, and how to defend sola Scriptura to Roman Catholics who argue that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture.   How much of the apostles' fallen nature influenced their choice of words and how they communicated? Is it reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines came from their just getting annoyed or impatient with someone and wording something too harshly? How do I defend sola Scriptura to my Roman Catholic family members in light of passages like 1 Thessalonians 2:13 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15, which seem to imply that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture?

It's not always popular to be seen taking a stand. But when God comes in concentrated power to a church, we often see courage and resolve that were not there before.

Episode Summary: Community is a gift from God that reflects His nature and intention for us. Through meaningful relationships, we experience support, growth, and a deeper connection with Him. While cultivating community takes effort and intentionality, the blessings far outweigh the challenges. By leaning on biblical principles, embracing vulnerability, and taking actionable steps, we can foster relationships that uplift and transform us. Let’s take God’s invitation to heart and pursue community as a way to share His love, grace, and hope with others. Today, we’re diving into a topic that touches the heart of our daily lives: the importance of community. God created us for relationship, not just with Him, but with each other. In a world that often feels isolated and disconnected, it’s vital to rediscover the power of authentic, Christ-centered community. Together, we’ll unpack what the Bible says about community, why it’s essential for our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being, and practical steps we can take to intentionally cultivate meaningful connections. My son, Bryce, joins me on the podcast to talk about The Power of Togetherness: Why Community Matters in Faith and Life. Quotables from the episode: Christ-centered community is, in all reality, exactly what it sounds like. It is a community striving together to edify and encourage one another to grow in their relationship to Christ individually. And it is that community that pushes each other to go towards Christ in the center. I think that community is very important in today's culture because we have grown very disconnected. Part of that free reign of access is the advent of social media, and it is very helpful to be able to connect with people one -on -one and being able to see people's life updates. But I think everyone is fully aware of the social media fact of you're only seeing the best. Community is very important because there is that lack and that prevalence of comparison that is leading people to feel isolated and like they aren't living up to what the dream is. I would say isolated and discontent because of that tendency towards comparison. And yet isn't it interesting that in a day and an age where things are supposedly more social, we see that loneliness is a huge epidemic. So, it's kind of ironic, if you will, that in this day of social media, people are feeling lonelier than ever. What role does the Bible place on the value of relationships within the Church and beyond? Oh, the Bible places an incredible amount of importance on relationships. You can just go throughout all of scripture and every single book there is an example. There is David and Jonathan. There's Ruth and Naomi. There is John and Jesus. Paul and Timothy. You can go on and on and on and give examples of all of these wonderful pairs of relationships and these groups. Jesus having the twelve disciples and David's mighty men. there is so much importance in the Bible on relationships because when God formed Adam in the garden, he made Adam in his own image and looked at it and looked at Adam and said "This isn't good for you to be alone." Even though you were made in my image, the best good that you could have out of all of creation, it wasn't good for him to be alone. When we have a heart that's focused on the fact that God wants us to have community. He wants us to share his love with other people. I think we have to get past worrying what other people are going to think. Self -consciousness often stems from some type of fear, fear of rejection, fear of not being understood, fear of being misconstrued with what you say. The importance of vulnerability is really saying, you're not alone in whatever this thing is. Being able to be vulnerable and say, I've been down this road, or even if I've not been down this road, but I'm willing to walk down it with you, is so critical of just opening the door of wherever this relationship goes, I want to go there alongside you. Forgiveness is a necessary component in any relationship. What a great example there is in Jesus. That's exactly what he does with our sin. We have to ask for forgiveness. And so, if we receive forgiveness from him, how much more should we give forgiveness to others? If we don't extend forgiveness, then that's just an opportunity for the enemy to come in and build up bitterness and resentment, which tears down relationships. So, if we prize relationship, we prize connection, relationship, we've got to include forgiveness as an aspect then, or we run the risk of losing out. Start with open-ended questions and the willingness to be silent, waiting for the other person to respond, then pull on the strings within the conversation.

In light of Christ's future return, how shall we now live? Today, we come to the book of Second Thessalonians, as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.” Some of the believers in Thessalonica were under the impression that Christ had already returned. They were confused, disillusioned, and had begun to shirk some of their responsibilities. The Apostle Paul wrote this second letter to set the record straight, and Ron takes us there next.

Paul praises the Thessalonians for their extraordinary faith and love that continued to grow in the face of affliction. Rather than fracture under pressure, their perseverance revealed a deep trust in God and love for one another. Their example challenges us to stay rooted in faith no matter the trials.

In this week's message, part seven of the Standing Firm series, Calvary Church turns to 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11, where Paul calls believers to live as children of the light in anticipation of the Lord's return. Dr. David Rice reminds us that holy living in an unholy age begins with spiritual alertness and steadfast hope.

Join Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the powerful story of Zacchaeus and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 19:1-10, wrestling with a critical translation question in verse 8: Is Zacchaeus announcing a conversion, or revealing his existing practices? This interpretive choice completely changes how we understand the story. They explore themes of salvation, seeking the lost, and Jesus's consistent ministry of seeing those others overlook. The conversation also covers: * Isaiah 1:10-18 and prophetic sarcasm about religious hypocrisy * Habakkuk's lament about justice and faithful waiting * Psalm 32 as a penitential prayer often overlooked * 2 Thessalonians and prayers in times of affliction The hosts challenge assumptions about wealth, righteousness, and who belongs in God's kingdom, offering fresh perspectives for preachers preparing for this crucial moment in Luke's gospel as Jesus approaches Jerusalem. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions! Reminder: We have commentaries for the Revised Common Lectionary, the Narrative Lectionary, and Evangelio (Spanish-language Gospel). We're here for you, working preachers!

“We also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the Word of God.” Well, the Apostle Paul wrote those words to the Thessalonians, a body of believers who had turned from idolatry and begun to worship the true and living God. Paul commended for their strong faith, and yet he also needed to point out a few areas of concern.

2 Thessalonians 1

Pastor Micah Stephens delivers a powerful sermon from Philippians 4, urging believers to combat anxiety with prayer, thanksgiving, and a focus on God's truth. Drawing from the anchored reading program, he emphasizes replacing worry with meditation on what is true, noble, and praiseworthy, sharing personal anecdotes about his father's joy and cultural references to Charlie Kirk's “happy warrior.” Stephens encourages surrendering burdens to Jesus for true peace, closing with a heartfelt prayer for shalom.Reference VersesPhilippians 4 verses 4–9, Acts 16 verses 16–34, Philippians 3 verse 8, Matthew 6 verses 25–26, 1 Thessalonians 5 verse 16, Galatians 6 verse 7, Mark 4 verses 35–41, Matthew 11 verses 28–30, 1 Peter 5 verses 6–7Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information! https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Audio taken from the live recording "Does the 'Trump Peace Agreement' Fulfill the Antichrist' Prophecy?" - https://youtu.be/jFoHA7w2qZUThere are few topics that stimulate more discussion among students of the Bible, and end-time prophecy more than the prophecies regarding the coming Antichrist, his 7 year peace treaty with Israel, and the coming tribulation.On October 13th, 2025, much of the world witnessed the signing of the “Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity”, intended to end the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, and usher in regional stability after a prolonged brutal war that began on October 7th, 2023.With the ink barely dry, this recent “Peace Treaty” mediated by the President of the United States, has prompted many to ask if this historic Middle East moment is the fulfillment of Daniel's ancient prediction of the seven-year treaty that will usher in the tribulation? In this study, we will answer 3 questions:1 - Could President Donald Trump Become The Antichrist?2 - What Is The Biblical Criteria Identifying The Antichrist's Treaty?3 - How Should Christians Navigate End-Time Speculation?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: Daniel 9:24-27Other Scriptures in this study: Daniel 7:8; Revelation 13:13-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:16-18; Luke 12:39-40; Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:11-13; Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 21:34-36; 2 Peter 3:13-15If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week. Connect with Tiff Shuttlesworth:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LostLambAssociation/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffshuttlesworth/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tiffshuttleswor Learn more about my ministry: https://lostlamb.org/ Learn more about my ministry in Canada: https://www.lostlamb.ca
