Red Door Church

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Pastor Jonathan is teaching through Paul's first letter to the church in Thessalonica. This message comes from the 1 Thes 5:1 to 5:11. Paul teaches that the Day Of The Lord is coming. Both from writings in the Old Testament and Jesus's words, we see that the Day Of The Lord is destructive, but for those who are in The Lord, they will be saved from this destruction. Pastor Jonathan says that we who are in Christ are saved from this destruction but we are not to be complacent. Giving your life to Jesus is not "tick, I've got my life insurance sorted out", and now let's get on with living. We are warned not be be asleep - not to be unaware - of what is happening around us.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Pastor Jonathan is teaching through Paul's first letter to the church in Thessalonica. This message comes from the 1 Thes 4:13 to 4:18. At this point in time, the Thessalonian church were worried about their fellow believers who had died, thinking because they had died before the return of Jesus that they would not be raised. Paul tells them their understanding is wrong. He encourages the believers in Thessalonika that those who died in Christ will rise in Christ, and that they have hope - a hope that others do not have. Pastor Jonathan says that we too have the same hope, however, he also tells us that it is perfectly ok to grieve for people we've lost - the bible itself has many verses depicting grief - but we do not need to grieve like people without hope.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Pastor Jonathan is teaching through Paul's first letter to the church in Thessalonica. This message comes from the 1 Thes 3:11 to 4:12. Paul teaches that to truly live as Jesus we must live holy lives. As was common in that culture, sexual immorality was rife. This is in direct conflict to God's command on how we are to live our lives. Paul's message to the Thessalonians is equally apt for us today in our culture. On the bright side, Paul encourages the Thessalonian church to keep loving each other. By living holy lives and loving each other, God's Holy Spirit will be shown to be present in the church.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Pastor Jonathan is teaching through Paul's first letter to the church in Thessalonica. This message comes from the 1 Thes 2:17 to 3:13. Paul is anxious for the people in Thessalonika because they are being persecuted and are suffering, and with suffering comes the temptation to walk away from the faith. He doesn't tell them that there will be no suffering, but rather encourages them to support and strengthen each other. This message is very applicable to us today as we face the ongoing anxiety and suffering caused by COVID. We need to support, encourage and strengthen each other and stand strong in our faith.
