WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.400 Well, good morning, everyone. It's good to see you. And I invite you to turn in your 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:27.760 Bibles, please, to Acts chapter 17. As Sam just mentioned, we're starting into a new 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:37.340 study, a new series, arguably perhaps one of the first letters, earliest letters written 00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:49.980 by Paul. But we're going to start in Acts 17, where we have a background to the church in 00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:57.740 Thessalonica. So as you're looking that up, just to encourage you, if you have a background 00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:04.700 of these, to get one of these, maybe they're all gone, but one per family. I'll print up 00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:10.000 some more if there's not enough. But this little booklet will just give you an overview, and 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.900 it will be helpful throughout the weeks to turn to it every so often and remember where 00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:24.500 we are. So that's written for you to help you and encourage you. So let's read from Acts 17, 00:01:25.940 --> 00:01:35.060 verses 1 to 10. So this is Paul. He's on his second missionary journey. He's been sent out 00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:43.159 by his home church, and he's traveled through modern-day Turkey, and he's arrived in Greece. 00:01:45.219 --> 00:01:55.079 And he's teaching and sharing the gospel to see new churches planted. So let's start in verse 1. 00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:04.000 When Paul and his companions, so his companions there are Silas and Timothy, had passed through 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:11.659 Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:21.340 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days, so over three weeks, 00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:31.219 he reasoned with them from the scriptures, explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise 00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:40.620 from the dead. This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah, he said. Some of the Jews were 00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:51.020 persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few 00:02:51.020 --> 00:03:00.540 prominent women. But other Jews were jealous. So they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, 00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:09.540 formed a mob, and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house, one of the new believers, 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:17.320 in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. But when they did not find them, 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.359 they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting, 00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:30.319 these men, who have caused trouble all over the world, have now come here. And Jason has welcomed 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:39.259 them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying there is another king, one called 00:03:39.259 --> 00:03:49.079 Jesus. When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. Then they put 00:03:49.079 --> 00:03:58.979 Jason and the others on bail and let them go. As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas 00:03:58.979 --> 00:04:04.939 away to Berea, and on arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:12.460 And Kirstie is now going to come and read Thessalonians, so you can turn to that now. 00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:24.159 So looking at 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, verses 1 to 6. 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:34.880 Paul, Silas, and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:42.980 grace and peace to you. We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. 00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:50.520 We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:58.099 and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters, 00:04:58.579 --> 00:05:05.299 loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, 00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:13.180 but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your 00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:20.180 sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of 00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:24.280 severe suffering, with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.340 Well, let's keep our Bibles open there, and we're going to pray. 00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:51.979 Our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, 00:05:51.979 --> 00:06:04.979 and deep conviction. Father, may we hear your word by the power of your Spirit. 00:06:05.339 --> 00:06:18.519 may I speak with conviction, and may we all come to see the wonder and the beauty of your gospel. 00:06:20.179 --> 00:06:23.500 Please help us now, we pray. Amen. 00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:41.639 Well, it was an incredible start. Way back in 1985, a group of people began to pray for a small town just outside Cork. 00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:49.100 A children's club was started. Other people went and knocked on doors to tell people about Jesus. 00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:57.460 Later on, a project was put together whereby a Bible was offered to every home in the town. 00:06:58.980 --> 00:07:09.680 Three years later, a church was started with just eight people committing themselves to Christ and to each other. 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:17.319 Almost 40 years later, almost 40 years ago, Carigoline Baptist Church began. 00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:25.340 But the question today is, how is Carigoline Baptist Church today? 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:27.840 How are we doing? 00:07:28.780 --> 00:07:33.399 Maybe some of you are excited and encouraged with church life. 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:40.319 Or maybe some of you have become disillusioned, disappointed. 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:47.179 It could be that you're brand new and you're still trying to figure out this Christian faith. 00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:54.939 Or maybe you've been a Christian a long time, and you've just lost your way. 00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:59.019 How is the church today? 00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:04.740 It was an incredible start. 00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:15.099 In just three short weeks, a church was planted in Greece, in a thriving city called Thessalonica. 00:08:16.219 --> 00:08:19.680 But not everybody was happy with the beginnings of this new church. 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.939 Those who were opposed to Christ and the Christians started a riot. 00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:30.439 And Paul and his team had to leave in fear of their lives. 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:38.480 And they moved on to the next cities, close by from Berea, and then to Athens, and then down to Corinth. 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:50.200 Separated by this time for a few months, they had no idea how this new church was doing. 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.220 Had they given up? 00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:54.779 Had things fallen apart? 00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:58.280 Were they even still meeting together? 00:08:59.660 --> 00:09:07.300 In a time when there was no mobiles or emails, they did have something far superior. 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:09.040 People. 00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:12.100 Have a look at chapter 3, verse 1. 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.860 This is Paul writing to the church. 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:18.220 He says, 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.160 When we could stand it no longer. 00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:21.660 Remember, they're separated. 00:09:21.900 --> 00:09:22.900 They're far apart. 00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:25.240 When we could stand it no longer. 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.720 We thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens. 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:36.299 So we sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God's service in spreading the gospel of Christ, 00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:41.240 to strengthen and encourage you in your faith. 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.580 So that no one would be unsettled by these trials. 00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:48.580 The trials, of course, was the opposition they were facing. 00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:53.500 For you know quite well that we are destined for them. 00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:56.000 Verse 6. 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:08.259 But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought us good news about your faith and love. 00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:12.519 A deep sigh of relief. 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.899 Timothy had been sent to find out how the church was going. 00:10:17.319 --> 00:10:19.700 He comes back to Paul and the rest of the team. 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.139 Guys, the church is still there. 00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.620 It's still going. 00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:32.740 But that didn't mean let's now forget about them. 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:36.240 No, like any church, they needed ongoing encouragement. 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.000 Chapter 3, verse 10. 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:49.899 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith. 00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:54.039 The longing, the desire to get back to see them. 00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:01.740 And in the meantime, Paul sits down and he writes a letter to strengthen them in the faith. 00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:12.740 You see, every church, whether it's Thessalonica in the year 50 or Carigoline in 2025, we need encouragement. 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:19.279 And to strengthen us, we're taken back to the very beginnings. 00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:22.319 To how it all started. 00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:24.220 The gospel. 00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:26.980 The good news about Jesus. 00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:32.279 You see, the gospel, and here's the two big things we're going to be looking at today. 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.579 The gospel forms the church. 00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:39.699 And the gospel shapes the church. 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.659 The gospel is where it all began. 00:11:43.539 --> 00:11:46.699 And where we must always return. 00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:56.500 So, our first big idea today is don't forget our roots. 00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:01.720 Don't forget our roots formed by the gospel. 00:12:02.540 --> 00:12:09.580 You see, going back and remembering our roots takes us back to a beautiful work of God. 00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:14.500 It is the good news about Christ. 00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:16.320 Look at verse 5. 00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:17.820 Chapter 1, verse 5. 00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:24.060 Remember, he says, our gospel came to you. 00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:30.179 Not simply with words, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit. 00:12:30.179 --> 00:12:33.539 That means that, yes, it contained words. 00:12:33.739 --> 00:12:35.659 The gospel is a message. 00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:39.739 And it comes with the power of the Spirit. 00:12:41.339 --> 00:12:45.719 And Acts 17 reminds us what that gospel is. 00:12:45.859 --> 00:12:47.239 What that word is. 00:12:47.479 --> 00:12:48.979 You can see it on the screen. 00:12:48.980 --> 00:13:00.039 He, Paul, reasoned with them from the scriptures, explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. 00:13:00.539 --> 00:13:04.539 This Jesus that I'm proclaiming to you is the Messiah. 00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:10.379 Messiah simply means king anointed one. 00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:14.259 God's chosen king. 00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:22.580 A king sent by God to renew this broken world and establish his loving rule in our lives. 00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:25.279 Now, that's good news. 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.240 But it's also confronting news. 00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:32.899 Because, well, we all live as if we're the king. 00:13:33.939 --> 00:13:35.360 It's my life. 00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:38.159 And I will do as I please. 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:43.299 The problem with that is everybody else lives as if they're the king. 00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:49.600 Which means it becomes clash of the kings every time we meet each other. 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.539 And we make a mess of our lives and we ruin everyone else's life. 00:13:56.839 --> 00:14:04.740 So God, in his love, sends the Messiah, the promised one, who will put everything right. 00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:16.360 A king who comes to demonstrate his authority not with weapons and force, but through gentleness and service. 00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:18.899 For here is a king. 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:20.879 Look at the verses there on screen. 00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:29.720 He says, who suffers for you and rises from the dead. 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:36.279 Here is a king who comes to you and who dies for you. 00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:41.620 Who takes the judgment that we deserve for rejecting Jesus as king. 00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:50.399 And he defeats death for you by rising from the grave, giving you eternal life in his eternal kingdom. 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:55.360 Jesus is the good and gracious king. 00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:01.159 Who comes not to crush you, but to bless you. 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:09.659 Acts records for us the response from some of those in that city. 00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:13.219 Some of the Jews were persuaded. 00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:15.219 They were convinced. 00:15:16.439 --> 00:15:23.899 And they joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks, some other religious folk there. 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:29.699 And quite a few, in other words, a lot of prominent women. 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.919 Successful business ladies. 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:43.599 You see, no matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you've done, this is the glorious gospel that has come to us. 00:15:44.299 --> 00:15:50.559 And that means if we have accepted responsibility for our rebellion against Jesus, 00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:57.459 and if you've asked him to forgive you, that means he is now your king. 00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:05.740 You're now part of his never-ending, life-giving, joy-thrilling kingdom. 00:16:06.660 --> 00:16:18.580 The gospel takes ordinary people like us, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, forms us to being children of the king. 00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:23.340 That is good news about Christ. 00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:26.960 But it's not just good news about Christ. 00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:30.600 It's good news about church. 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:39.740 Because when we believe this gospel, when we trust Jesus, we're not just made to be children of the king. 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.200 We're saved into the church of the king. 00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:46.340 Look at verse 1. 00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:49.100 Look how he begins. 00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:55.759 Paul, Silas, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians. 00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:02.220 You see, we're not saved to live isolated individual lives and do our own thing. 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.660 No, we are to share in a committed community. 00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:12.099 That's why the letter is written to the church of the Thessalonians. 00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:16.919 Or as we will say today, to the church of Carigaline. 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:25.379 But we're much more than just a bunch of believers who live around the town of Carigaline, and this is our address. 00:17:26.379 --> 00:17:29.240 No, we also have another location. 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:34.180 Not just geographical, but spiritual. 00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:36.180 Again, look at verse 1. 00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:39.500 To the church of the Thessalonians. 00:17:40.620 --> 00:17:41.839 Where are they? 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:47.419 In God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:53.159 We're not just believers in Carigaline physically here today. 00:17:53.160 --> 00:18:00.800 But we are in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:06.000 That is, we've become united to him through the gospel. 00:18:06.540 --> 00:18:14.340 So, the relationship that the Father has with the Son, we also get to share in. 00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:26.379 The love that the Father has with the Son, and the love that the Son has for the Father, is a love that we now get to partake in. 00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:39.679 We belong to the Father, and we're joined to the Son, and we're bound to, and we're securing the most precious and treasured of relationships. 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:46.480 These, my friends, are our roots. 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.160 This is our story. 00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:53.620 If you're a Christian, this is where it all started. 00:18:53.980 --> 00:19:06.660 The good news of Christ, who formed us to be children of the King, but took those brand new children and formed us into the church. 00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:13.259 Now, doesn't that change how we think about ourselves as we gather here this morning? 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:23.980 We're not lone rangers, and we're not isolated attenders, just doing our own thing and drifting in and out as we please. 00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:31.820 No, we're a new community, committed to Christ, and committed to church. 00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:39.359 We've been saved by the King, and we are now children of the King. 00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:49.039 A fellowship that has been incorporated into the very love of God, and bound together by the love of God. 00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:54.859 Of course, we can easily forget that, can't we? 00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:59.119 We can lose sight of our beginnings. 00:20:00.639 --> 00:20:09.039 We can drift from Christ, and we can become detached from the church. 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.919 So he's writing and encouraging them, and we are being encouraged. 00:20:15.459 --> 00:20:18.599 Don't forget your roots. 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:24.639 We have been formed by the glorious gospel. 00:20:26.639 --> 00:20:28.759 So, that's number one. 00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:32.779 Don't forget our roots. 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:39.039 Second, give thanks for fruit. 00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:42.099 Roots and fruits, easy to remember. 00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:44.839 Shaped by the gospel. 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:55.599 You see, the good news about Christ not only forms us into the church, but it goes on transforming us. 00:20:56.159 --> 00:20:57.119 Look at verse 2. 00:20:58.939 --> 00:21:05.839 We always thank God for all of you, and continually mention you in our prayers. 00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:12.819 There's this joy, this thankfulness for the joy, and he can't contain it. 00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:15.179 Look again, chapter 2, verse 13. 00:21:15.659 --> 00:21:23.779 And we also thank God continually, because when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it. 00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:26.579 Or chapter 3, verse 9. 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:37.439 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:43.740 Why this uncontainable, overflowing thanks? 00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:57.880 Because as he looks at the church, he sees lives that are not just coming to Christ, but have been shaped and transformed by the gospel. 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:01.800 Gospel fruit is on display. 00:22:01.800 --> 00:22:03.700 And it's beautiful. 00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:12.740 Because looking at the church is like walking through a Mediterranean orchard at harvest time. 00:22:13.340 --> 00:22:16.140 Delicious fruit everywhere. 00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:21.259 So what are these fruits of the gospel? 00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:30.040 What happens when the gospel grabs a hold of our life and changes us from the inside out? 00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:32.580 Well, three things. 00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:38.320 First, there's the fruit of service. 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.259 Living to serve. 00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:42.560 Verse 3. 00:22:42.559 --> 00:23:01.240 We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:23:01.879 --> 00:23:09.099 The work, the labour, the endurance, well, they're not different things. 00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:13.319 They're just different ways of talking about the one thing. 00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:15.799 A normal Christian life. 00:23:16.139 --> 00:23:17.500 A life of serving. 00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:21.679 Because that's what happens when the gospel takes effect in our life. 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.019 A church that serves one another. 00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:27.059 Look at verse 3. 00:23:27.179 --> 00:23:28.240 The end of verse 3. 00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:33.679 It's all rooted in, see the little phrase at the end of verse 3? 00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:36.819 In our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:48.480 So our work, our labour, our endurance, our service, all comes from, all flows from our relationship with Christ. 00:23:48.480 --> 00:24:07.940 So whatever you do in the life of the church here in Carrigline, whether you're somebody who welcomes, or somebody who helps out at Polo, or The Rock, or Rooted, or Core, or praying, or visiting, or phoning up someone to encourage them, or texting them. 00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:37.920 Our work comes from our work, or something like that. 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:38.920 Our work comes from our work, or something like that. 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.240 We know that we can keep on going. 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:51.720 Now maybe you're finding serving hard. 00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:56.060 Perhaps you're feeling a little bit low and tired. 00:24:57.019 --> 00:25:02.420 Instead of being a fruitful tree, maybe you feel like a dried up tree. 00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:08.380 Well, what we need then is to be soaked afresh in Christ. 00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:13.140 To put down our roots, as it were, into the waters of Christ. 00:25:13.320 --> 00:25:15.700 To soak him up afresh. 00:25:16.360 --> 00:25:19.420 To remind ourselves of the wonderful gospel. 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:24.560 To remember his faithfulness of doing his work in and through us. 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.440 That we would experience his love afresh. 00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:31.619 That we would rejoice in the hope to come. 00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:45.960 You see, a church that is rooted in the gospel will grow into a beautiful tree, displaying a life full of fruitful service. 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:57.960 And as I look out from here, and as you look around at each other, look at a church full of fruitful service. 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.240 Of people who do things week by week. 00:26:02.840 --> 00:26:06.940 Who ring, and who pray, and who care. 00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:16.620 A life filled with the gospel will be full of fruitful service. 00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:22.640 Our second fruit is assurance of salvation. 00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:27.880 Another reason he gives is thanks for this assurance. 00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:29.120 Look at verse 4. 00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:34.759 For we know, brothers and sisters. 00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:38.000 So we're to know something. 00:26:38.779 --> 00:26:42.079 He's telling us we're to be convinced and certain of something. 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:43.359 What are we to know? 00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:45.599 Well, read all of verse 4. 00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:50.420 For we know, brothers and sisters, loved by God. 00:26:51.859 --> 00:26:53.319 And here's what we're to know. 00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:57.000 That he has chosen you. 00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.519 Incredible. 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:11.680 In eternity past, before time began, before you came into being, God chose you in love. 00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:13.839 Wow. 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:15.980 He chose me? 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:18.900 Well, what did he choose me for? 00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:23.680 What was the purpose in God choosing us in love? 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:28.900 Well, we've got a helpful verse if you go to 2 Thessalonians. 00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:34.920 Which I think fleshes out the verse we've just looked at. 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:40.299 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse 13. 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.299 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse 13. 00:27:49.299 --> 00:27:56.059 And here we see the reason for choosing us in love. 00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:58.519 Let's read verse 13. 00:27:58.639 --> 00:28:06.200 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, loved by the Lord. 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.680 Because God chose you as firstfruits. 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:18.759 To be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit. 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.859 Do you see there? 00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:23.099 That's the reason. 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:29.720 God chose you in love to save you. 00:28:30.379 --> 00:28:35.059 So that you would know and experience his salvation. 00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:41.519 Let's go back to 1 Thessalonians and verse 4. 00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:47.619 So he chose us that we would be saved. 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.740 But you're asking, well, how do I know if I'm chosen? 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.200 How do I know if I'm going to be saved? 00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:56.720 Well, look at verse 4 again. 00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.879 For we know, brothers and sisters, loved by God that he has chosen you. 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:03.460 Chosen you for salvation. 00:29:04.099 --> 00:29:04.740 Verse 5. 00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:08.000 Because our gospel came to you. 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:12.440 Not simply with words, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit. 00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:15.079 So if you have heard the gospel. 00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:18.440 If you've heard this good news. 00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:21.480 And the Spirit has been at work in you. 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.799 Convincing you that Jesus died for you. 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:26.720 Defeating death for you. 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.180 And if you have trusted in Jesus. 00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:33.940 God has chosen you in love. 00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:37.940 You have the assurance of salvation. 00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:42.360 Because salvation comes through the gospel. 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.500 But let's be clear. 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.740 I'm not saved because I was worthy or deserving. 00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:51.479 It's not like God looked down and says, oh, Johnny Grant. 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:54.000 You couldn't get a better person. 00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:55.719 I think I'll save him. 00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:59.879 And you're not saved because you're wonderful or lovable. 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:05.259 No, do you remember what we read at the very beginning in Romans? 00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:07.940 While we were still what? 00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.920 Sinners. 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:13.400 Christ died for you. 00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:20.420 God chose you because he loved you. 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.640 And he loves you because he loves you. 00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:27.640 That's his motivation. 00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:29.660 He loves you. 00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:34.759 You see, if you're a Christian today, it's because God chose you in love. 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:36.480 And that's very humbling. 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:39.519 Because we always want to contribute something. 00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:40.640 It's my life. 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:42.079 I do all this. 00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.559 No, it's what God does in us. 00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:48.400 And it is deeply reassuring. 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.680 It brings about assurance. 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:52.359 Let me explain how. 00:30:53.339 --> 00:30:59.460 If you're a Christian and I ask you, why are you a Christian? 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.359 And if you respond to that by saying, well, I'm a good person. 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:06.819 I had faith. 00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:09.879 Or I chose to believe. 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:12.700 Well, okay. 00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:16.259 But what happens when you're not good? 00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.579 What happens when you lose faith? 00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:23.519 What happens when you start to disbelieve? 00:31:24.299 --> 00:31:27.400 Well, then we have no assurance of salvation whatsoever. 00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:29.619 Because it's all dependent on me. 00:31:29.619 --> 00:31:34.619 We end up living fearful and joyless lives. 00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:43.139 But if I ask you why you're a Christian and you say, oh, Johnny, God chose me in love. 00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:46.600 Well, then it's all dependent on God. 00:31:46.800 --> 00:31:49.500 And you have assurance of salvation. 00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:51.220 There is no fear. 00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:54.280 Because you will never be separated from his love. 00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.700 And there is wonderful. 00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.900 There is joy. 00:31:56.900 --> 00:32:07.620 You see, a church that is rooted in the gospel will have the fruit of assurance. 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:15.180 Lives gathering together, reminding one another that we have salvation for eternity. 00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:22.340 And there's nothing and no one, no matter what you go through in life, that can ever separate you from Christ. 00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:26.900 What a beautiful church that is. 00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.539 Well, there's one more fruit that we need to look at. 00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:38.240 Not just living in service or having assurance of salvation. 00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.259 But joy in suffering. 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.819 Joy is a remarkable fruit. 00:32:46.159 --> 00:32:48.659 And it is ours to experience. 00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:50.659 Look at verse 6 with me. 00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:57.640 You became imitators of us and of the Lord. 00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:07.800 And you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:15.019 This church, brand new, only a few months old, had faced terrible opposition. 00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:21.240 From the word go, there was a riot in the city and they were taking Christians off down to the local police station. 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.139 As they continued to live their lives. 00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:26.379 Look at chapter 2, verse 14. 00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:32.920 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus. 00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:40.980 You suffered from your own people the same thing those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus. 00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:43.879 It wasn't safe to be a Christian. 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.140 You could lose your life. 00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:53.300 Now we mightn't suffer extreme persecution here in Carragalline. 00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:56.960 But there is a sense in which we suffer for the gospel, don't we? 00:33:58.100 --> 00:33:59.380 You know what it's like. 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.360 It might be rejection from family or friends who think you've gone a bit bizarre. 00:34:06.780 --> 00:34:12.740 It could be isolation in work that people don't really like what you think or believe. 00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:18.140 But it can also mean the struggle of being involved in gospel ministry. 00:34:19.140 --> 00:34:21.320 And I know you know what that's like. 00:34:22.340 --> 00:34:27.360 People who promise to come to something, but they don't show up. 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:33.340 Or praying for growth and change, but there seems to be no growth. 00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:38.760 Don't you get disillusioned and disappointed sometimes in ministry? 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:48.100 That's a suffering that we bear in our lives that can break us and crush us. 00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:51.059 But look at verse 6. 00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:56.920 We can be joyful in our suffering. 00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:02.019 That doesn't mean let's put on a fake smile and dance and pretend we're all happy. 00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:05.019 No, look where the joy comes from. 00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:10.659 It's a joy given by the Holy Spirit. 00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:17.299 You see, once again, we're called to drink from the well of the gospel. 00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:21.039 To put our roots deep down afresh into Christ. 00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:26.219 To be refreshed in the reality that I am chosen in love by God. 00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:30.920 And that no matter what my suffering is, my salvation is secure. 00:35:31.799 --> 00:35:35.899 That I can go on serving because I have a glorious and certain hope. 00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:43.400 And the Spirit takes that message and drives it deep and applies it to our heart. 00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:47.099 So we can pray. 00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:52.220 Lord, fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit. 00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:59.579 And give me a joy so that I may be able to rejoice in all things. 00:35:59.579 --> 00:36:07.980 You see, the promise here, a Spirit-filled life, is not the absence of suffering. 00:36:08.659 --> 00:36:10.460 I want you to hear that. 00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:16.559 A Spirit-filled life is not the absence of suffering. 00:36:17.319 --> 00:36:21.900 But the presence of

Lord's table. 00:42:53.599 --> 00:43:04.079 We've just been reading in 1 Thessalonians about how Paul addressed his brothers and sisters there in the church. 00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:14.000 And he says in verse 1, he says to the church in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:43.980 Isn't that amazing? 00:43:43.980 --> 00:43:58.300 And we eat and we drink to remember how we who were once enemies of Christ came to be in Christ, tethered to him, safe with him forever. 00:43:58.300 --> 00:44:04.300 Everything that Christ, everything that Christ earned, we get. 00:44:04.300 --> 00:44:09.880 And the punishment that we deserved, he got. 00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:18.880 This meal reminds us of how Christ achieved all of this. 00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:31.460 And like the bread is broken, Jesus' body was broken for our sin so that we could be made right with God. 00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:33.460 It's a physical reminder for us. 00:45:01.460 --> 00:45:04.500 Thank you. 00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:04.500 00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:04.500 00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:33.460 Thank you. 00:45:33.460 --> 00:45:33.460 00:46:01.460 --> 00:46:03.460 Thank you. 00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:03.460 00:46:31.460 --> 00:46:33.460 Lord Jesus, we thank you. 00:46:33.460 --> 00:46:33.460 00:46:33.460 --> 00:46:34.460 Thank you. 00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:34.460 00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:35.460 Thank you. 00:46:35.460 --> 00:46:37.460 Thank you. 00:46:37.460 --> 00:46:50.460 Lord Jesus, we thank you. 00:46:50.460 --> 00:47:03.460 Lord Jesus, we thank you for your body broken for us on the cross so that we could be united to you in faith. 00:47:03.460 --> 00:47:09.940 faith. We eat together now in remembrance of you. Amen. 00:47:33.460 --> 00:47:52.800 There are some words from Romans chapter 5 on the screen. Verse 12 says this, 00:47:52.800 --> 00:48:04.500 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death. So death spread to everyone, 00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:15.560 for everyone sinned. Verse 18, Yes, Adam's one sin brings condemnation for everyone, 00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:26.739 but Christ's one act of righteousness, what he did on the cross for us, brings a right 00:48:26.739 --> 00:48:40.219 relationship with God, a new life for everyone. As we drink the cup, we remember Jesus' blood, 00:48:40.219 --> 00:48:50.699 which was poured out for the forgiveness of our sins. It was the only way that God could make 00:48:50.699 --> 00:49:04.579 atonement for our sin. And because his life is now our life, Jesus' righteousness is credited to us. 00:49:04.579 --> 00:49:16.480 Everything he deserved becomes ours. So as you drink, this is a chance for us all to say thank you to Jesus. 00:49:19.179 --> 00:49:26.980 To thank him that we are tethered to him and that his life is now our life. 00:49:26.980 --> 00:49:32.219 So please drink as you receive. Thank you. 00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:58.980 Thank you. 00:49:58.980 --> 00:49:58.980 00:50:26.980 --> 00:50:28.980 Thank you. 00:50:56.980 --> 00:50:58.980 Thank you. 00:51:26.980 --> 00:51:28.980 Thank you. 00:51:56.980 --> 00:51:58.980 Thank you. 00:52:26.980 --> 00:52:27.980 Thank you. 00:52:27.980 --> 00:52:27.980 00:52:27.980 --> 00:52:27.980 00:52:27.980 --> 00:52:28.980 Thank you. 00:52:28.980 --> 00:52:29.980 Thank you. 00:52:29.980 --> 00:52:30.980 Thank you. 00:52:30.980 --> 00:52:31.980 Thank you. 00:52:31.980 --> 00:52:37.920 We're going to finish by saying the family blessing together. It's found on your news sheet, 00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:45.179 if you have one with you. And just to say thanks again to everyone for coming this morning. 00:52:45.179 --> 00:52:51.179 It's been such a blessing to share with one another now. And also we have this opportunity 00:52:51.179 --> 00:52:58.179 over tea and coffee to continue to encourage one another and express our thanks for one another 00:52:58.179 --> 00:53:05.279 in the church family. But let's finish now by saying the family blessing together. 00:53:05.279 --> 00:53:17.179 May God, our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ encourage you in faith, love, and hope so that 00:53:17.179 --> 00:53:24.179 we will be strengthened in our service in the church and in the world.
