Walking by the gospel

Ben Green | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 

Brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more... It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honourable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.

Paul has many good things to say about the church at Thessalonica and wants to encourage them to keep becoming more like Jesus. As Ben explains, there have always been areas of life where Christianity will clash with the prevailing culture of the day.

The recording begins with the reading from Trevor Whitehouse.
