1 Thessalonians 5:14-22
Welcome to our Online Bible Study.
We are glad that you are here.
Please, take some time to Share Your Thoughts With Us as they relate to 1 Thessalonians 5.
You can share anything that is on your heart but, if you don't know where to start, try reading these verses and answering one or more of the following "Honest Questions"
1 Thessalonians 5:14:22 - 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. 16 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.
Honest Questions:
1. Does your church practice church discipline for "unruly" members or guests? If so, in your opinion what is the purpose of church discipline?
2. Does your church provide a list of members to the members so that the members can stay in contact with one another?
3. Stop for just a second and ask God to remind you of any member of your church that could possibly be fainthearted or weak and ask God to help you know the best way you could encourage or help that person.
4. Are you currently harboring unforgiveness for anyone? If so, are you willing to let God walk you through a process of forgiveness, and possible reconciliation with that person?
5. Are you currently aware of anyone who is offended with you for something you did wrong? If so, are you willing to ask God for forgiveness and ways that you might be able to make a mends for the wrongs you have done?
6. What is one thing you are especially thankful for in this season of your life?
7. Have you ever asked the Lord to give you the spiritual gift of prophesy? If so, how has God allowed you to use that gift? If no, is there any particular reason why you would not want that or any other spiritual gift?
8. After reading 1 Thessalonians what words would you use to describe God's will for our lives?
9. What was your favorite verse in 1 Thessalonians 5 and why?
10. Do you have any specific questions or prayer requests after reading 1Thessalonians 5?
