Paul tells the Thessalonians they are already living to please God, and then urges them to do so more and more. In this sermon on 1 Thessalonians 4, Rev. Jeffrey Rickman preaches on sanctification: God's will is that we be made holy, and there is no part of life that sits outside of that call. Faith is not a checklist to finish. If we are not moving forward, we are sliding back.
Preached October 4, 2026 at First Methodist Church of Yazoo City.
