Paul writes to the Philippians encouraging them to rejoice in their faith and warning against overconfidence in their heritage or status. He explains that he once took pride in his Jewish heritage and status as a Pharisee, but now considers all of that as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. He urges the Philippians to pursue knowing Christ by imitating his example of suffering, forgetting the past, and striving toward the goal of life in heaven, where their bodies will be transformed to be like Christ's glorious body.
The Joy of Your Faith
Paul is torn between his desire to be with Christ in heaven, which would be better for him, and remaining alive to help the Philippians grow in faith and experience joy. Though separated from Jesus while living, Paul is convinced it is better to stay and help the Philippians mature rather than departing to paradise. His goal is to please God by serving others and producing spiritual fruit through building up the church.

Living hope
This document contains several Bible passages discussing what it means to be a Christian. The passages discuss being born again through God's word, having faith in Jesus Christ, obeying God and living holy lives. They emphasize loving others, adding virtues to your faith, and warn that Jesus will judge those who do not repent from sin. The overall message is that Christians should devote themselves to God through prayer, fellowship, obedience to his word, and good works.
God's view of a good soldier
This document is about living according to God's will rather than human desires. It discusses how Jesus suffered but never sinned by following God's will. It encourages Christians to arm themselves with the mindset of doing God's will no matter the cost. It warns that Christians should no longer live like pagans, engaging in lust, drunkenness and idolatry, but should live like children of God through perseverance, love and righteousness.
Finding the Kingdom Trail When Trouble Comes
Paul discovered that his imprisonment advanced the gospel in several ways:
1) Many brothers and sisters were emboldened in their faith by Paul's example of preaching while in chains.
2) Paul was able to preach the gospel to many people who visited him in prison, including the palace guard and King Agrippa.
3) Some preached out of jealousy of Paul, but the gospel still spread, both from sincere and insincere motives. Paul was joyful that Christ was being preached regardless of the motives.
Letting go of the past
The past is just that past! As Christians we have to now view ourselves as Christ views us! That is holy, sanctified, and justified. We are set apart in Christ and are happy to renounce our past for what we have in Christ and our future glory! We study in this lesson why we let go of our past.
1 Timothy - Fighting Fit
The document provides an overview and discussion of Paul's letter to Timothy known as 1 Timothy. It discusses three key spiritual states:
1. Spiritual Fitness characterized by a cleared conscience, with the goal of saving sinners through fighting the good fight of faith while maintaining defenses of faith and good conscience.
2. Spiritual Flab characterized by a smeared conscience, with the goal of material gain through fruitless discussion. Defenses are weak and vulnerable.
3. Shipwrecked Faith characterized by a seared conscience from rejecting guidance, leading to being condemned.
It encourages maintaining right relationships with God through prayer, others through respect, and oneself through godliness. FAQ sections discuss Paul
2 peter 1b
This document contains the text of a sermon given by a pastor. The sermon discusses 2 Peter 1:5-10, which talks about adding virtues like faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, kindness, and love to one's life. It encourages believers to diligently pursue these qualities through worship, prayer, and study rather than waiting for them to come passively. It warns that lacking these virtues leads to spiritual blindness and barrenness, and urges believers to make their salvation sure by cultivating these traits in their daily lives.
Philippians Intro
The document provides background information on the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians. It was written by Paul around 60-62 AD from prison in Rome to express gratitude for gifts from the church in Philippi. The letter focuses on Paul's circumstances in prison, having the mind of Christ, knowledge of Christ, and finding peace in Christ. Prominent themes are joy and rejoicing in fellowship, afflictions, ministry, faithfulness, and unity through Christ.
Joshua 19a
The document discusses the biblical account of how the land of Israel was divided among the tribes after they conquered it. It describes how the territories of some tribes like Simeon became incorporated into other tribes like Judah over time. It also talks about how Joshua selflessly ensured all the tribes received their inheritance before taking his own portion of land.
Jesus was doubted by his own brothers
This is a study of Jesus being doubted by His own brothers. They were unbelievers in His deity and being the Messiah. They believed He was able to do miracles but did not believe He was who He claimed to be.
Meet the challenge of witnessing to men
1. There is an urgent need for spiritually qualified men to take the lead in the Kingdom work as it increases in the last days. Yet fewer men than women are embracing the Kingdom message in some places.
2. When Paul and Peter witnessed to men like a jailer and Cornelius, their entire households came to faith as well, showing that witnessing to men can have far-reaching effects.
3. Brothers can look for opportunities to informally witness to male coworkers and ask to speak with the man of the house when in the field ministry to give more men a chance to hear the Good News.
The Reward of Faithful Sacrifice as Demonstrated by Paul
Paul looked forward to a crown of righteousness. He started as an arrogant persecutor of the church, but when Jesus appeared to him, he suffered the loss of all things to gain Christ.
2 Corinthians - Jars of Clay
The document provides an overview and analysis of the key themes in the New Testament book of 2 Corinthians. It discusses Paul defending his apostleship against critics in Corinth.

Paul presents his ministry model of planning, personal example through hard work, and influencing both Jews and Gentiles. The document also examines Paul's teachings on money matters like fundraising for others and receiving support for ministry.
The Gospel Is And Much More
The Gospel is not just an introductory message but the central message of Christianity about salvation through Jesus Christ. It is meant to be handed down from generation to generation without change. Preaching the Gospel with power means preaching it as the foolishness of the cross rather than adapting it to different cultures. True reception of the Gospel involves complete trust in Christ alone for salvation, submitting one's life to His lordship, and standing firm on the truths of the Gospel. The Gospel's promise of eternal salvation through Christ's atoning death and resurrection should be a primary motivation for Christians.
50 8 2 09
The document discusses how Satan hindered Paul from visiting the church in Thessalonica as he desired. It says Satan will try to hinder the work of the church in various ways, such as through criticism, distraction, temptation, and discouraging enthusiasm. The purpose is to prevent Christians from glorifying God and accomplishing their spiritual goals and ministry. Paul wanted to evaluate the spiritual condition of the Thessalonian church personally but was unable to due to Satanic hindrance.

Romans 6 outline complete
The document discusses the question of whether Christians can continue living in sin after becoming believers. It analyzes Romans 6:1-14, noting that Paul answers the question by asking how those who have died to sin can continue living in it. The passage indicates that believers have been united with Christ and freed from sin's power and bondage. It argues that true salvation produces sanctification and a holy life, not a license to sin. A Christian cannot live outside of being united with Christ and influenced by the Holy Spirit's power to live according to God's will rather than sin's dominion.

1) The document discusses four motives for seeking unity based on Paul's letter to the Philippians: encouragement in Christ, comfort of love, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and affection and mercy.
2) It examines what each of these motives mean, citing examples from scripture. The encouragement of Christ provides incentive to obey. God's love constrains believers to love one another. Fellowship with the Spirit brings conformity to Christ.
3) Paul's approach to unity was to appeal to the goodness of God and the bond of relationship with Christ rather than threaten or command unity. The loving Holy Spirit desires unity among believers.

Romans Outline September 06 2009
Paul calls himself a "bond-slave of Jesus Christ" and an apostle "set apart" for preaching the gospel of God. He felt called by God to this role before his conversion, and afterward dedicated himself fully to serving God and spreading the message of the gospel. Paul saw preaching as both an honorable duty given to him by God, and a humble form of service. His mission was to faithfully deliver the message he was commissioned to share.

Jesus was the one paul would die for
This is a study of Jesus being the one that Paul would die for. It is about the courage and determination of Paul to press on doing the will of God even if it cost him his life.
2 Cor Intro
Paul wrote this letter to the Corinthians to defend his ministry and authority as an apostle of Jesus Christ. Some in the Corinthian church had been swayed by false teachers who undermined Paul. In this letter, Paul expresses thankfulness for those who had repented and appeals to the rebellious minority to accept his leadership. Throughout the letter, Paul defends his conduct, character, and calling as an apostle and teaches that ministers must face difficulties and troubles without losing their mission to comfort others.
2 Thessalonians
1) The document discusses Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians, in which he encourages them to stand firm amid persecution and corrects false teachings about the second coming of Christ.
2) Paul explains that Jesus' return will be preceded by a great falling away from the faith and the revelation of the "man of lawlessness."
3) He reminds the Thessalonians to keep working, remain steadfast in their faith, and not be idle while waiting for Christ's return.
Wheres_Jesus_in_Exodus_part1_Patterns_in_Exodus
Paul looks back to Israel's history in the wilderness following the Exodus to draw lessons for the Corinthians about not grumbling or testing God as Israel did. He references specific events where Israel engaged in idolatry, sexual immorality, or put Christ to the test and faced consequences. Paul uses these examples to warn believers about overconfidence leading to disobedience and falling away from faith in God, who provides escape from temptation.
I Thessalonians
This document provides background information on Thessaloniki (Thessalonica) and summarizes the key points of Paul's first letter to the church in Thessalonica. It discusses how Paul established the church and his exemplary ministry there, focusing on the second coming of Jesus as the epistle's main theme. Each chapter references the second coming.

2 Corinthians - Jars of Clay v. 2
This document provides an overview and summary of the key themes in Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. It discusses how some church leaders in Corinth questioned Paul's authority and message. Paul responds by focusing on his weaknesses and how God's power is made perfect in weakness. He outlines his ministry model of planning, personal example-setting, using his trade to facilitate ministry, and ministering to both Jews and Gentiles. The document also addresses Paul's teachings on ministry funding and the Jerusalem collection.
Revelation 12,13,14
The document provides a summary and analysis of Revelation chapter 12 and the beginning of chapter 13 from the Bible. It describes a vision of a woman representing God's people being persecuted by a dragon representing Satan. Satan is defeated and cast down to Earth where he persecutes the woman's offspring. It then discusses two beasts described in chapter 13 - the first coming out of the sea representing a powerful kingdom, and the second coming out of the earth representing a false prophet who promotes worship of the first beast. The document analyzes the symbolism and provides context from other biblical passages.
Eschatology: lecture-6
The document provides commentary on Revelation 12 and 13 regarding the woman, the dragon, the beasts, and the false prophet. It summarizes that the woman represents God's people who are persecuted by Satan (the dragon). Satan is defeated in heaven and cast down to earth. Two beasts then arise - one from the sea who blasphemes God and wages war against believers, and one from the earth who supports the first beast and deceives people with signs and wonders, promoting worship of the beasts.
Jesus was teaching us how to pray vol 4
This is a study that continues Thomas Watson on the Lord's prayer with a few other sermon by well known pastors such a Charles Spurgeon.
Theology money class_session_4
The apostle Paul would disagree with Prosperity Theology based on several biblical passages. Paul suffered greatly for spreading the gospel, as did other apostles and early Christians. Jesus and his disciples lived in poverty and humility. The Bible warns that wealth can become a snare and distract from God. True prosperity comes from God and should be used to help others and spread the gospel, not for personal gain.
Spiritual Warfare: The Nature of the Enemy (Part II)
1) Satan is real and seeks to devour believers like a roaring lion. He uses deception, temptation, and false doctrine to lead people into sin and away from God.
2) Believers are in a spiritual battle against Satan and his demons. They must depend on God and His strength, know Satan's schemes, and armor themselves with God's protection.
3) While Satan is powerful, Jesus has already won the ultimate victory over sin and death through His sacrifice. Believers share in Christ's triumph and cannot be separated from His love. Their salvation is found only through faith in Him.

CHRIST ICONIC IDENTITYChristianDrive Network (CDN) ChristianUpdate-Outreach, Kiddieschristianupdateoutreach
1. The document discusses how Christ endured false accusations and mistreatment in order to give believers an iconic identity in Him, allowing them to see from God's perspective and break from their past sins.
2. Having an identity in Christ through His redemption means believers' old sinful selves are crucified and they can walk in newness of life through forgiveness and mercy.
3. Christ's iconic identity evolves in believers and allows their conversation and songs to have roots in heaven.Jesus was the source of all our blessings v. 2
This is a continuation of the study of Jesus as the source of all our blessings. So many have written on this subject that it could not be contained in one book.
10 October 2, 2011 Philippians, Chapter 1 Verse 12 - 14
The document summarizes Paul's imprisonment in Rome and how it led to the advancement of the gospel in three key ways:
1) Paul was chained to Roman soldiers for two years, using that time to preach the gospel to them. This led to many soldiers coming to faith, including some who went on to evangelize others.
2) Word of Paul's imprisonment spread throughout the entire Praetorian Guard in Rome and to everyone else.
3) Through Paul's example of joy and endurance in hardship, others were encouraged in their faith.

Luke 4 14 31 cew manuscript 03 01 14
Jesus returns to Galilee and his fame spreads throughout the region. On the Sabbath, Jesus goes to the synagogue in Nazareth where he was brought up and reads from the prophet Isaiah, proclaiming that the Scripture has been fulfilled. However, the people reject him and drive him out of the city wanting to throw him off a cliff. Jesus then goes to Capernaum to teach.
Luke 4 14 31 sermons
The document provides background information on Luke 4:14-30, which describes Jesus preaching in the synagogue in Nazareth. It summarizes Jesus' ministry in Galilee prior to this event, which had grown popular through his preaching and miracles. At the synagogue, Jesus reads from Isaiah and claims the prophecy is fulfilled in him, but the people reject this due to misconceptions.

1. Jesus returns to Nazareth where he was brought up, following his time in the desert. As was his custom, he attends the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stands up to read from scripture.
2. The passage describes Jesus now being led fully by the Holy Spirit after emerging from the desert, rather than being at his own disposal. Though in a familiar place among those he knew, he was empowered to proclaim the scripture in a new way under the Spirit's guidance.
3. Jesus faced the challenge of proclaiming a higher calling in a familiar community, but having fully submitted to the Spirit's leading, he was able to see Nazareth and its people inLuke 4 1 to 14 outline notes 03 01
This document provides commentary on Luke 4, which describes Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness for 40 days after his baptism. It discusses various interpretations of the temptation and provides analysis on key aspects, including:
1) Jesus was tempted as a human being to undergo moral probation, though without sin.
2) The wilderness location emphasized his solitude and desolation as he faced this spiritual conflict at the start of his ministry.
3) The temptation confronted Jesus on the nature of his messianic role and how he would fulfill God's purpose, testing his identity and use of power.
4) Even the holiest are still subject to temptation, though the form changes based on one's

The document provides commentary on 1 Peter 1:18-19, discussing the concept of redemption. It summarizes that believers should know they were not redeemed by perishable things like silver or gold, but by the precious blood of Christ. It explores the biblical concept of redemption, citing passages that discuss God redeeming his people from bondage through payment of a price. The commentary notes that in the New Testament, redemption requires the payment of a moral debt through Christ's atoning death, liberating humanity from sin.First Peter 2 1 to 3 outline
1) The document provides five commands for believers: have hope in God, keep holiness, always revere God, learn to love one another, and crave the Word of God.
2) It explains how to crave the Word of God by remembering it is our life source, getting rid of sin like malice and deceit, and admitting our need for nourishment like newborn babies need milk.
3) Believers are encouraged to pursue growth through regularly reading and studying the Bible, and to be thankful for God's grace by reflecting on the blessings of their salvation.

1) Believers are urged to abstain from sinful desires and conduct themselves honorably among non-believers.
2) Christians should live excellent and upright lives so that non-believers have no reason to slander them as evildoers.
3) Through observing Christians' good works, non-believers may come to glorify God when he judges at the final day.
Evangelism salvation correctly done
Francis Schaeffer argues that evangelicals must take truth seriously and preach and practice biblical truth, even when it is costly. He makes three main points:
1. Evangelicals must accept and preach propositional biblical truth rather than viewing religious truth as only psychological. They must take a stand for truth and against what contradicts God's word.
2. Evangelicals must carefully consider the purity of the visible church and what church discipline and living according to doctrine means.
3. If evangelicals practice "latitudinarianism" or compromise central truths, they will lose credibility with a skeptical world that does not believe truth is possible. They must practice what they preach about truth.
Bible how to use it great scritpure
The document provides guidance on properly understanding and interpreting the Bible. It discusses that the Bible should be read with faith in order to truly understand God's message and purpose. While it does not contain a complete knowledge of God, it can develop understanding and trust through the Holy Spirit. It also cautions that experiences should be tested against what is found in Scripture and discusses several methods and attitudes for properly studying and applying the Bible.
Bible how to understand the bible
1) To understand the Bible, one must first become a believer in Jesus Christ through salvation.
2) Read the Bible starting with the Gospels of Mark and John to understand Christ. Read the rest of the New Testament then move to the Old Testament.
3) The Bible was written by human authors but was directed by God. It is not just a book but gives the message of Jesus Christ and salvation from sin.
Exegesis and exposition textbook
The document discusses the importance of preaching Christ and focusing sermons on the gospel message. It provides numerous quotes from Charles Spurgeon emphasizing that sermons must have Christ at the center and that leaving Him out is unacceptable. The document also discusses the benefits of the lectio continua method of preaching, where the preacher works verse-by-verse through entire books of the Bible. Finally, it addresses what it means to preach the whole counsel of God, which involves proclaiming the message of the gospel of the kingdom and balancing all aspects of Scripture.
Alar calls verses personal evangelsim
Alar calls verses personal evangelsimRivers of Joy Baptist Church, Pastor/Teacher Charles e Whisnant
This document discusses the pastor's perspective on altar calls and invitations to salvation given at the end of church services. The pastor does not believe altar calls are an effective or wise approach to evangelism for several reasons. First, it can lead people to falsely believe they are saved based on a brief moment of prayer, without sufficient time to test the credibility of their profession of faith. Second, the church service is primarily for believers, not evangelism of non-believers. The pastor believes the best approach is for believers to have gospel conversations with non-believers outside of the church service and allow the Holy Spirit to bring them to salvation.Doctrinal study of impassivity of god
Doctrinal study of impassivity of godRivers of Joy Baptist Church, Pastor/Teacher Charles e Whisnant
This document provides summaries of and commentary on several theological topics. It discusses the doctrine of divine impassibility, or the idea that God does not experience emotions or change in the way humans do. It presents the view that while Scripture describes God with human emotions, these should be understood metaphorically rather than literally, to preserve God's immutability. It also summarizes critiques of this view and alternatives proposed by open theists, who believe God experiences emotions and can change in response to creatures.Calvin on christology study icon
This document summarizes and critiques John Calvin's arguments against the use of icons in Christian worship. It outlines Calvin's view that any depiction of God is forbidden as it distorts our understanding of God's transcendence. The document argues that Calvin overstates his case and ignores evidence from Scripture and history that supports a limited use of religious images. It examines Calvin's failure to adequately address the decisions of the Seventh Ecumenical Council that affirmed icons, and his flawed assumptions about the aniconic nature of early Jewish and Christian worship.
First peter 1 14 18 outline
God's plan of salvation is meant to produce holiness in believers. Salvation rescues people from sin, its guilt, power, and eventual presence. While salvation provides forgiveness, it also places believers in union with Christ to be transformed into his moral likeness through the Holy Spirit. The purpose of salvation is because of human sin, which is any lack of conformity to God's law and rebellion against him. God saves people so they can be increasingly conformed to Christ's righteousness, love, humility, and other virtues. Ultimately, God is in the business of holiness - he disciplines believers so they can grow into full Christ-likeness.
Expositional p reaching 19
The document discusses the importance of expository preaching, providing 4 reasons why failing to do exposition is problematic.
1. It usurps the authority of God over the mind and soul by not explaining God's word. God's truth and word should reign over people's lives, not the preacher's insights.
2. It usurps the lordship of Christ over the church. Christ can only exercise his authority as head of the church by being the one who speaks to the church through preaching.
3. It hinders the work of the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit only uses the word of God as the means of salvation, sanctification, instruction, and comfort. Where script

The document outlines the theological beliefs and positions of Charles E. Whisnant. It begins by stating that Whisnant identifies as a Calvinist, Reformed, and Reformed Baptist, but does not fully agree with certain views within those traditions. Whisnant affirms that he is a Baptist and has closely followed the teachings of John MacArthur, Charles Spurgeon, and George L. Norris for decades. The document then lists Whisnant's core beliefs, including the doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, a future for Israel, a rapture of believers, a seven-year tribulation, and a literal 1,000 year kingdom of God. It concludes by outlining 17 specific beliefs around

The document summarizes key aspects of orality and linguistic description and prescription. It defines orality as thought and verbal expression in societies where writing and print are unfamiliar to most of the population. It describes linguistic description as the objective analysis and description of how a language is spoken by a group. Linguistic prescription seeks to define standard language forms and give advice on effective language use, drawing on descriptive research and subjective aesthetics. Prescriptivism is the practice of championing one variety of a language over others, implying some forms are incorrect or improper.Romans 12 3 to 5 exposition spiritual gifts 07 04 14
Romans 12 3 to 5 exposition spiritual gifts 07 04 14Rivers of Joy Baptist Church, Pastor/Teacher Charles e Whisnant
This document provides an overview of spiritual gifts as described in the Bible. It discusses the seven motivational gifts mentioned in Romans 12: prophecy, serving, teaching, exhorting, giving, organizing, and mercy. For each gift, it provides a biblical example, guidelines from Romans 12, and a life principle to apply. It also discusses how spiritual gifts work through the Holy Spirit's empowerment and should be used to demonstrate God's love. Spiritual gifts come in three categories: motivational gifts which shape perspective, ministry gifts which involve serving the church, and manifestation gifts which demonstrate God's power. All gifts are valued as each member is important to the body of Christ functioning according to God's will.More from Rivers of Joy Baptist Church, Pastor/Teacher Charles e Whisnant (20)

Satan Is Out To Hinder Outline Ppd
- 1. Charles E. Whisnant August 09, 2009 Rivers of Joy Baptist Church I Thessalonians 2:17-20 (18) THE DEVIL AND HIS CROWD OUT TO GET, DISTRACT, AND CAUSE DOUBTS 17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. 19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 20For ye are our glory and joy. Satan is out to get in the way of you getting on your way in the Christian life "In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes." 2 Corin. 2:11 Satan's Scheme #1 - Drive us to despair. Satan's Scheme #2 - Tempt us to be proud, or to think more highly of ourselves than we should. Satan's Scheme #3 - Tempt us to feel perplexed, and to begin to doubt God when our prayers seem to go unanswered. Satan's Scheme #4 - Troubling the believer with blasphemous, impure, unbelieving thoughts. Satan's Scheme #5 - Tempting us by our carnal friends and relatives. Satan's Scheme #6 - Not tempting us at all, in order to "surprise" us when we least expect it. and yet Satan hindered us. (2:18b) A second reality that Paul understood well in his ministry and relationship with the Thessalonians was that he faced satanic opposition. He had the spiritual discernment and understanding to realize that God has allowed Satan to oppose the kingdom of God in a variety of ways. Scripture mentions many of them: the devil tempted Christ (Matt. 4:3–10); he opposes the gospel (Matt. 13:19; 2 Cor. 4:4); he performs counterfeit miracles (Ex. 7:11; Acts 8:9–24; 13:8; cf. 2 Thess. 2:9; Rev. 16:14); he seeks to deceive believers (2 Cor. 11:3, 14; Eph. 6:11); he perpetrates lies and murders (1 Kings 22:22; John 8:44); he attacks individual churches (Acts 5:1–11; Rev. 2:9,13, 24; 3:9); and he especially attacks spiritual leaders (Job 1:6–2:8; Luke 22:31–32; 2 Cor. 12:7–9; 1 Tim. 3:7). The New Testament reports that he was present at the churches of Jerusalem (Acts 5:1–10), Corinth (2 Cor. 2:1–11), Ephesus (1 Tim. 3:6–7), Smyrna (Rev. 2:9–10), Pergamum (2:13), Thyatira (2:24), and Philadelphia (3:9).
- 2. Satan wants to thwart the progress of God's kingdom much as an army seeks to disrupt the advance of an opposing army. The word translated hindered is a military term referring to digging a trench or breaking up a road. One of the countermeasures an ancient army would take against the opposition was to dig a massive trench that would prevent enemy troops from reaching its men. Another way to frustrate the enemy's progress would be to tear up a brick or stone road so that he could not traverse it. Thus Paul depicted the powerful devil as supernaturally obstructing the apostle's strong desire to revisit Thessalonica. Paul did not state specifically how Satan thwarted his desire, but the hindrance could refer to the trouble at Jason's house and the pledge that Jason made ( Acts 17:9) Paul recognized that Satan (the adversary) is the real enemy behind all opposition to the gospel. Satan’s purpose is to hinder the work of God and stop the forward march of the Church. As the god of this world he blinds the minds of unbelievers, trying to keep out the light of the glorious gospel of Christ 2 Corin 4:4 SATAN WILL HINDER, GET IN THE WAY BY 1A SUGGESTING DOUBT 2A MAGNIFYING DIFFICULTIES 3A BY DISTRACTIONS 4A BY FRUSTRATING OUR PURPOSES 5A BY TEMPTING US TO DO THE OPPOSITE 6A BY ACCUSING US WRONGLY Whereas as Satan kept Paul out of Thessalonica for a time, this became a blessing because we have the epistle which Paul wrote, having words for us of comfort, warning and direction. 19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing.” Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? “For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? For you are our glory and joy.” (2:19–20) Listen, Paul loved his people, he understood his enemy and he looked for his Lord’s coming. PAUL LIVED IN THE LIGHT OF THE RETURN OF THE LORD. PAUL ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS 1A WHO IS IT THAT WE HOPE TO SEE? 2A WHAT IS OUR CROWN? 3A WHERE IS OUR REJOICING? 4A WHO IS OUR HOPE? 5A WHO IS THE SOURCE OF OUR ETERNAL HAPPiNESS?
