Practical Christianity focuses on three points from 1 Thessalonians 5 which should help each follower of Christ practice what we preach as believers.

1. “Practical
Christianity” 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24

2. 1. Practical Christianity appreciates strong
leadership, acts lovingly, and practices
accountability.

3. 1 Thess. 5:12-15 (NASB) But we
request of you, brethren, that
you appreciate those who
diligently labor among you, and
have charge over you in the
Lord and give you instruction, 13
and that you esteem them very
highly in love because of their
work. Live in peace with one
another.

4. 14 We urge you, brethren,
admonish the unruly,
encourage the fainthearted,
help the weak, be patient with
everyone. 15 See that no one
repays another with evil for
evil, but always seek after that
which is good for one another
and for all people.

5. 2. Practical Christianity is productive because
little things aren’t taken for granted.

6. 1 Thess. 5:16-22 (NASB)
Rejoice always; 17 pray without
ceasing; 18 in everything give
thanks; for this is God's will
for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not
quench the Spirit; 20 do not
despise prophetic utterances. 21
But examine everything
carefully; hold fast to that
which is good; 22 abstain from
every form of evil.

7. 3. Practical Christianity is achieved only by
divine enablement.

8. 1 Thess 5:23-24 (ESV) Now
may the God of peace himself
sanctify you completely, and
may your whole spirit and soul
and body be kept blameless at
the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 24 He who calls you is
faithful; he will surely do it.

9. Philippians 1:6 (HCSB) I am
sure of this, that He who
started a good work in you will
carry it on to completion until
the day of Christ Jesus.

10. Philippians 1:6 (HCSB) I am
sure of this, that He who
started a good work in you will
carry it on to completion until
the day of Christ Jesus.
