“When My Trophies At Last I Lay Down”

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 26, 2017 by William EarnhardtOctober 4, 2017avatar

Several years ago, when I first became a literature evangelist, I was attending an awards banquet for the best sales persons in the Southwest. I was awe struck by the nice shiny plaques and trophies the winners were receiving for leading the region in sales, hours worked, and other categories. I was so impressed that … Continue reading –>

Further Study: The Apostolic Example

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 2, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

“No matter how high the profession, he whose heart is not filled with love for God and his fellow men is not a true disciple of Christ. . . . He might display great liberality; but should he, from some other motive than genuine love, bestow all his goods to feed the poor, the act … Continue reading –>

Thursday: To Not Be a Burden (1 Thess. 2:9-12)

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 1, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

While Paul was in Thessalonica, what other things did he do in addition to preaching the gospel, and why? See 1 Thess. 2:9, 10. The idea that Paul was working “night and day” would be a huge exaggeration if taken literally. The Greek, however, expresses a qualitative idea rather than the actual amount of time spent. In other words, … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: Caring Deeply (1 Thess. 2:7, 8)

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 31, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

In 1 Thessalonians 2:4, Paul’s primary motivation for ministry is to please God. What additional motivation does Paul bring up in the verses that follow? See 1 Thess. 2:6-8. In today’s world, money, sex, and power are often considered the primary motivations for human behavior, at least for those consumed by self-interest. In 1 Thessalonians 2:3-6, Paul uses a … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: Pleasing God (1 Thess. 2:4-6)

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 30, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

Read 1 Thessalonians 2:4-6. Describe the contrast between Paul’s motivation for ministry and the worldly alternatives he mentions. Why is it not always so easy to see the differences; that is, how can people deceive themselves regarding the purity of their own motives? Why is that so easy to do? The word often translated “approved” (1 Thess. … Continue reading –>

Monday: The Character of the Apostles (1 Thess. 2:3)

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 29, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

Read 1 Thessalonians 2:3. What key point is he making there about motives? It was widely known in the ancient world that there were three keys to persuading people to change their ideas or practices. People judge the power of an argument on the character of the speaker (in Greek: ethos), the quality or logic of the … Continue reading –>

Sunday: Boldness in Suffering (1 Thess. 2:1, 2)

Sabbath School Net Posted on July 28, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

Read 1 Thessalonians 2:1, 2 in light of Acts 16. What connection does Paul draw between his earlier ministry in Philippi and his ministry in Thessalonica? First Thessalonians 2:1 picks up on the themes of the first chapter. The “you yourselves know” (NKJV) of this verse recalls the same language in 1 Thessalonians 1:5. And Paul’s reference to “coming” or gaining “entrance” … Continue reading –>
