Adam SmallcombeHOST
You might remember it from 2 Corinthians 5.
Adam SmallcombeHOST
Paul was commending the Macedonians, the churches in Philippi, Berea, and Thessalonica.
Adam SmallcombeHOST
He's talking to them about the fact that they didn't just receive grace, they outworked it.
Adam SmallcombeHOST
Their grace actually had an effect in their life and made them effective in what they did.
Joshua SelmanHOST
i listed four of them let me do a quick recap and we'll get into tonight's teaching number one i said over dependence on the strength of the flesh you still remember that the reason why we are not able to see the manifested power of god in and through our lives is because there is over dependence on the strength of the flesh technology individuals philosophies and the formula of men number two ignorance and disobedience to god's principles god is a god of systems and ignorance and disobedience to his principles and his systems will always leave the believer defeated my people who see are lamented chapter 4 and verse 6 are destroyed even though they are my people they are destroyed for the lack of knowledge ignorance and disobedience to god's principles number three demonic oppression the third reason why individuals do not command and produce the kinds of results in and through their lives that bring glory to jesus is demonic oppression the bible is very clear as to the fact that the whole world lies in wickedness In 1 Thessalonians 2 and verse 18, like we considered the week we discussed this, that I would have come to you.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Paul was speaking to the church in Thessalonica.
Joshua SelmanHOST
He said, but Satan hindered us.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Satan does not just hinder men.
Eric FistlerHOST
Let's look at this in the context.
Eric FistlerHOST
Let's talk about this in Thessalonica.
Eric FistlerHOST
Let's talk about this in terms that of people that are living in a community, you know? Which was very hard to be Christian in which the pressure to stop doing what they're doing was really intense.
Eric FistlerHOST
And this concern that...
Leo ZagamiGUEST
And that's it.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
And at that point, not happy with how things were going in Thessaloniki, he goes back into Catholic land in Ukraine and Poland.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
And there he does the real damage.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
Because if he kept this whole thing in Turkey, the domain, let's say, still lasted until the Ottoman Empire and then still maybe survived some of them, but kind of faded out a little bit.

Seth HolehouseHOST
Odin.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
And at that point, he would get Rudolfes there.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
And that will be the beginning, really, of something because Rudolf Vossenbottendorf had been initiated by one of the main Sabbatian Frankish families in Thessaloniki, the Termudi family.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
Here we are talking about the guy who actually founded the first publication of the future Nazi party, Rudolf Vossenbottendorf.
Mike GreenHOST
So let's pick up in verse 1 of chapter 17 and try to note the distinct characteristic of the Bereans as we think about searching the scriptures daily.
Mike GreenHOST
Verse 1 of Acts 17, Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Mike GreenHOST
And according to Paul's custom, he went to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures, explaining and setting before them that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead and saying, this Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is that Christ.
Mike GreenHOST
And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas along with a great multitude of God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the leading women.
Mike GreenHOST
And they disturbed the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things.
Mike GreenHOST
And when they had received the bond from Jason and the others, they released them.
Mike GreenHOST
Paul and his companions make their way to Thessalonica, preach the gospel.
Mike GreenHOST
A number of Jews believe and Greeks, both men and women.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
And then he explains this very interesting circumstance.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world and has departed for Thessalonica.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
Now, this is interesting.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
So, he talks about Demas is going to Thessalonica, the Cretans for Galatia, and Titus for Dalmatia.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
So, there's a number of circumstances.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
Demas, the Cretans, and Galatia.
6 MINS LATER
Jerry ArnoldHOST
No, sorry, Timothy.
Jerry ArnoldHOST
You're wrong.
Joel PeedGUEST
He says, make, in his last comments to Timothy, make every effort to come to me soon.
Joel PeedGUEST
For Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica.
Joel PeedGUEST
Croesus has gone to Galatia.
Joel PeedGUEST
Titus to Domatia.
Nick ButcherHOST
That idea would seem to chime with what Paul says elsewhere in the New Testament.
Nick ButcherHOST
So this is him writing to a church in Thessalonica.
Nick ButcherHOST
He says, Jesus, when he comes.
Nick ButcherHOST
Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
Martin BreadmoreGUEST
He connects love with the way the believers conduct their daily lives.
Martin BreadmoreGUEST
And apparently it seems that some in the church in Thessalonica have stopped working.
Martin BreadmoreGUEST
They've become idle.
Martin BreadmoreGUEST
Not because they can't work, but just because they have become idle.
Gene KissingerHOST
There's a warning to when we get into leadership or power to be careful that we keep our lives right.
Gene KissingerHOST
Theodosius was an emperor, he was a Christian emperor, and there was a riot in Thessalonica And the Thessalonians had killed a commander of the imperial garrison.
Gene KissingerHOST
The emperor Theodosius was a professing Christian and ordered a reprisal.
Gene KissingerHOST
The people were gathered into the circus and slaughtered by the thousands.
