Bobbie Frere | 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, labouring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.
Paul points out some things the Christians at Thessalonica were getting wrong in order to point them in the right direction. In this case, some had misunderstood the purpose of work. Is there a model we can follow? Bobbie outlines a framework for all kinds of work - paid or voluntary - based on gospel principles, those by which we should live.
The recording begins with the reading from Simon Jones.
