1 Thessalonians 4:1 1. Challenged Them 2. In the Lord Jesus 3. On the Basis of Past Foundations      (Faith, Love, Pursuit of Holiness) 4. To Do More Better Danger of Doing More -Trying to impress God or others -Appeal of the New and Next -Grow Tired or Just Become Busy Danger of Not Doing More -The stories we tell are only about the past -White fence post syndrome -We naturally coast and drift; God calls us to strive.  Philippians 3:12-16 So, What do we mean by More? -Pursue Faith, Love, and Holiness -Proclaim and Display Jesus to a broken and hurting world John 14:12- “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Where do we go from here? -We do the little things well…love, faith, and holiness in action -We celebrate God’s faithfulness and power -We pay off the building -We trust one another as we find our way into this new season of ministry -We develop a long-range planning and prayer process -We ask God to do more in us and through us than ever before
