Q3. (1Thessalonians 3:3-5) In what ways does persecution discourage christians from active, open service? In what ways does it mature them? In what ways does it reveals our underlying motives? Why do you think God alolows the tempter the ability to tempt us? Why hasn't he done away with Satan already? It discourage them sometimes because they dont want to hear what has to be said or they just dont want no one to know what is really going on in their lives. However it can mature them in ways that they will do better. Some even understand their wrong while others want except their wrong. It really shows us ourselves. I feel God allows this to happen so that we will know right from wrong. The reason God has not gotten away with the devil because the things he uses against us helps to grow. It helps us to call on God even the more, however if we never have circustanes we probably would not call on God or change.

Churches sometimes despise prophecy because of what can be reveal that is not of God. The guidelines that Paul speaks about 1. prophecy decent and in order. 2. most tongues in interpeted. 3. If prophecy is done in evil stay away from it.

Rejoicing in God is a very good thing. We should do it not matter what the circumstance is. Sometimes it is hard because of what the flesh go through, but we can do it when we put the flesh under subjection. We might not feel good all the time but there should not be any circumstances. But lets not forget that we are only human and in the flesh.

Because of the tough times that the people was going through during that time. They needed someone to assure them about Jesus. By Timothydoing this it built his faith as well as the people. Sometimes assignments that we have to do always helps us as well as the people.

What happens when the disrespectful spread their disrespectful? Then the enemy takes over and people began to do and say what they want. Love for God and their fellowman does not exist anymore. 3. Will getting rid of the leader fix the problem, or is there something deeper going on here? It could go both ways, but most of the time the thing that is happening is always the devil have came in and took over the people. Getting rid of the leader is not always the answer, but prayer is.

What does it mean to be alert and watchful? Be careful for nothing. Dont let anthing or anyone cause you to lose out on Gods coming. We have to be watchful, because he said in his word that he will come like a thief in the night. 4. How does this differ from our normal christian lifestyle? it really isnt too much different, cause we still needs to be ready and alert, and watchful for his coming.

It prepare the people for the coming of the son. I think jesus used this title Son of man because he came from the flesh.

Verse 10 teavhes us to wait on jesus. Jesus died and rose again for us and took our sin on cross. All of these elements are important because of who the son is. To me it is believeing that Gods wrath among all his people.

It is important because then we do what jesus do. Love is important because it teaches us how to do the things pertaining to God. It is very important for leadership in the church so that the people could have someone to guide them. How can you hear without a preacher. If you are not in christ you want grow good. You dont have anyone to lean on. My spiritual life for my family is very much needed. We are placed here to show our family that Gods love is real. Our spirtuial plays a very special part with the family because they can see the work of God.

How ever our lives is important to please god. The rules for god is chastism. Love is more stronger because if you love for real then you will obey gods rules. Paul bring these authority by god.

1. what does it mean to be santified? It mean to be cleanse in the spirit. To be set apart of things in the world. 2. In what sense are we holy now?By allowing God to come in and save us. by allowing him to deliver us from things that hinder our life with him. 3. In what sense are we in the process of becoming holy and what does holinesss have to do with our sexuality? We are being made everyday into a new creature. We are being taught how to live there holy and learning right and wrong. Holiness have a lot to do with living holy. God can not dwell in an unclean vessel. He wants us to be an example for others.

1.Are humans actually capable of controlling their sexual urges? Ans-It can be done only throu by christ. It is not easy, but your mind will have to be renewed in christ. Alot of people are out of controll, because they have took their minds off of God. The flesh is something you have to stay in prayer for. Because we can not put our flesh under subjection by ourselfves and without having the change of mind to go alone with it. 2.Why is it important to control ourselves sexuality within marriage? When sexuality does not have any boundaries then the flesh gets out of control and we are no longer thinking like God, but like the world. When we let our flesh act up then we no longer control our marriage, children, our spirits or our body. The flesh has taken over and we are no longer married to God. We began to seperate from our children and our marriages began to have problems or we divorce. Our spirit man began to take a back seat when sin enters the body. The body gets sick and sometimes we die.

Paul spoke the words that men should be as he was but if they could not then they should marry. 2.Are these punishments more severe than for other sins? Ans-To me sin is sin. All sin is the same. It might sound different but it is not. There is no big sin or little sin. The only way to get into the kingdom is to live righteous. 3. What effect should these warnings have on christians? Ans-It should make us live right and want to be more like God everyday.

that is true. God speaks in his word about how fornication is wrong and we should not be a part of it. We are suppose to be clean vessels for God to use.

Why is personal courage such an important character trait for a disciple and for a discipler? How does lack a of courage prevent evangelism? How does lack courage prevent a congregation from being healthy? What is God calling you to do that will require courage on your part? ans-It is important because it helps us to understand and not mislead Gods word. Lack of courage prevents it because of fearr. We can not help anyone if we have fear . We need to be willing to do work for God. Not be afraid of what others say or fight against us. A lack of courage have a strong way with a congregation. If the teaching is not where they understand it then they want get the healthy word of God. To preach his word takes a lot of courage.

Q 5(1 thessalonians 2:13)- What is the role of the word of God in molding disciples lives? Does it have a power of its own? How does that seem to operate? What are the implications for disciples of this powerful actions of the word? Ans-It disciplines us and puts us on the right track with God. The power that it have is teaching us to live according to Gods word and his purpose. It operates through the holy spirit. We need know that we believe what our father has told us and that we come to an agreement of his word with faith.

mother raises a baby with love and care. it causes a child to grow. so as we nuture the spirit of god. then people grow in god. we are instructed to how to be like christ. Men can adopt this by being strong and caring and understanding when it comes to god.

I think it is very important, because it gives directions and guidence in a spirtual walk. women can adopt these traits by folloering God and what he wants..It is very important to have a strong mind in christ.

1 Thessalonians 1:4-5 1. Why is the holy spirits working so necessary to effective ministry? ans-Because God want to see his people really know him and what he is about. 2. what happens when the main power behind our ministry is will-power? ans- Then you will began to see the work of God come in to play. 3. what is the role of miracless in Pauls evangelism? What would happen if we saw miracles in evangelism in our day? What is hindering this? ans-For the gospel to be spreaded to the gentiles. We do see it, however some of us dont believe still. Those that see it, it has changed their lives. The only thing that is hindering us is us.

Act 17:1-10 why do you think there was so much strong opposition to Pauls ministry in Thessalonica? Why do you think Paul keeps preaching the gospel, eventhough there is often a violent reaction against him? does a violent reaction to our ministry necessarily mean we should stop? Because Paul was a killer of christians when he was called saul, but now he is teaching that there is another king, and the jews did not like that, because Cesesar was there king. Paul kept preaching, because it was his purpose throught Jeuse Christ that the gospel be spreaded throughout the nation. A violent reaction should not deter us from doing what God has told us to do. When we are on a journey for God, We have to remember that God has us covered by his blood.
