Discipleship: 1st & 2nd Thessalonians – August 11, 2024

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

We begin a new series on the books of 1st and 2nd Thessalonians in the New Testament.

My big question today is: How can we know that we are on the right track spiritually?

The good news is, we can know. I’ll tell you my answer, and after that, I’ll spend the rest of my time showing you the answer from the Bible, because it’s important that you see it from the Bible. Pastors will fail you, but God’s words will not fail you. So it’s important for you to base your life on the Bible and not what pastors say.

That said, here’s my answer. If we want to know that we’re on the right track, we need to look in three places. We need to look INSIDE, we need to look BEHIND, and we need to look AROUND. I’ll explain what I mean.

We need to look INSIDE of us to see if we have courage to live out what we believe.

We need to look BEHIND to the past for evidence that supports what we believe.

And we need to look AROUND us for the approval of mature Christians.

That’s my answer and I’ll spend the rest of my time up here showing you my answer from the Bible.
