"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise." In that proverb we see an upright person planting life wherever he goes, and a wise person saving lives for eternity. That kind of wisdom seems to be rare these days. We have evangelism programs. But do we have the wisdom that wins some? Win-some-ness is what we need.

"Iceberg, right ahead!" Down below, the passengers on the RMS Titanic were drinking and dancing... or dozing. They were unaware of the danger until it was too late. The world will be like that in the last days: partying away its final moments before a sudden reckoning with God. As we continue in 1 Thessalonians, we'll read Paul's exhortation to live with our eyes open, expecting the Lord to re-visit this planet. Here's Jim with what he calls, Insider Information.

Christians who have died haven't missed the Rapture! Our brothers and sisters who've gone on to glory before us haven't missed anything - except the troubles of living in a lost world! Satan had found a gap in the knowledge of the church in Thessalonica, and he was exploiting it. Paul wanted to step in and plug that gap. He did so with some of the most oft-quoted lines in the New Testament. We're in 1 Thessalonians 4 as Jim begins a sermon entitled, Hope Anchored Beyond.

I want my hangups back! Those of us who lived through the 60's and 70's remember a lot of talk about "hangups" and "repression." These old, bad attitudes were supposedly holding people back from... well, from what? From what we see now: pain, brokenness and confusion. How is our light shining, Christians? Are we examples of sexual virtue, or are we being dragged down into the moral darkness of our times? Here's Jim to begin his sermon, Power Through Purity.

People behave differently when they know they're being watched. Put someone on stage, and he'll immediately forget what to do with his hands. Merely walking across the stage is unnerving when you know that hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching you. Well, God's gaze is less intrusive. We don't even know He's there much of the time - and that's a problem, as Pastor Jim will point out today. Open your Bible, if you can, to 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2. We'll hear Part 1 of Jim's sermon, A Witnessed Lifestyle.

God created man in His image. And ever since then, man has been trying to return the favor. We want gods we can figure out, gods we can control. To turn from those comforting but worthless idols to the True and Living God is no small miracle! But that's what happened to a whole group of people in the Greek city of Thessalonica. In 1 Thessalonians 1, Paul is reminiscing about some very good old days. Jim's message is called, Connected with the Living God.
