We'd love to connect. This Week's Message “Exhort to Endure” Ryan Lynn 1 Thessalonians 3 Sermon notes for 10/25/26 1. Exhort One Another’s Faith Through Affliction | vv. 1–5 | “I Am With You” 2. Exhortation Comes Back Around | vv. 6–10 | “Hold On” 3. God Will Establish His Saints | vv. 11–13 | “Help Is on the Way” Main Point: Mutual exhortation leads to mutual endurance. DIGGING DEEPER Read 1 Thessalonians 3:1–5. Why was Paul concerned about the Thessalonians' faith? How can suffering tempt us to stop trusting God? Read 1 Thessalonians 3:6–10. How did the Thessalonians' faith and love encourage Paul? What does this teach us about the importance of enduring together? What do all these passages teach us about God's role in our endurance? How should these truths change the way we face suffering and encourage one another? Have each person choose one of the following passages to read aloud: 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, Philippians 1:6, Hebrews 12:2, 1 Corinthians 1:8–9, Jude 24–25, 1 Peter 5:10 TAKING IT HOME Who has encouraged you to keep trusting God during a difficult season? How did they help you endure? Paul prayed that their love would increase and abound. Where is God calling you to grow in love toward someone who is difficult to love? What is one practical way our small group could become better at exhorting one another rather than simply spending time together?

Here's what our church family is lifting up this week: SUNDAY – Father, we thank you for the pastors you have placed over our church family.

It was not always taught that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone so we are thankful for Martin Luther, John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, Philip Melanchthon, and all the others who helped us understand what your Word actually says. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

We'd love to connect. This Week's Message “Example of Endurance” Ryan Lynn 1 Thessalonians 1 Sermon notes for 10/11/26 Main Point: You can hold on when you know where your help comes from. 1. I am with you— 1 Thessalonians 1:2–6 It’s not enough to be an example of surviving; we must be an example of enduring in Christ. 2. Hold on — 1 Thessalonians 1:7–9 Endurance is not simply surviving; it is clinging to Christ. 3. Help is on the way — 1 Thessalonians 1:10 Maybe God changes your circumstances tomorrow or maybe He doesn’t. Our ultimate hope is that Jesus is coming to set all things right. SERMON REVIEW Quick Review What stood out to you most from this passage or message? What does the Thessalonians’ example teach us about enduring difficult circumstances? Digging Deeper Read 1 Thessalonians 1:2–6. How did relationships with other believers help the Thessalonians endure? Who knows what you are going through right now, and who are you allowing to walk through it with you? Read 1 Thessalonians 1:8–9. The Thessalonians “turned to God from idols.” What are you tempted to hold onto alongside Jesus—approval, relationships, success, pleasure, control, comfort, or something else? Taking it Home Where are you tired of waiting on God? What have you stopped praying about or begun to believe will never change? Where are you tempted to let go of Christ rather than hold on to Him? What would “holding on” practically look like this week? Who needs to hear “I’m with you, hold on, help is on the way” from you this week? What could you actually do to walk with them? Finish this sentence and share it with the group if you're willing: “This week, I need to trust God with ________.” Songs for Sunday God is for Us Everlasting God The Solid Rock Mighty to SaveWatch LIVE On SUNDAY Watch last week’s sermon “Looking to Jesus” 👇 Next Week: Elder Ryan Lynn will continue his sermon series on 1 Thessalonians, “Endure” Community Prayer We join together in the spiritual practice of prayer.

Thank you that our identity is in Christ, and we pray you would help us remember that.

Thank you, Jesus, for being born as a human, living a perfect life, dying for our sins, and conquering death by rising from the grave. WEDNESDAY – Father, we continue to pray for Pastor Matt while he is on sabbatical. We ask that his comfort level increases daily while he is entrusting Pastor/Elders, ministry leaders, and staff to succeed in leading and caring for Solid Rock in his absence.

Let us not hold grievances against each other but have hearts to forgive. SATURDAY - Father, we humbly bow before you as the one and only God, and worship you as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Grace Is a Life-Giving Transaction III. His Grace Reconciles a Severed Relationship A. Reconciliation Is Possible B. Reconciliation Is Provided Discussion and Thought Questions: 1. What part of this study most deepened your understanding of God's grace? 2. Why is showing kindness to someone who is kind to us different from showing grace to someone who treats us badly? Should it be different? 3. How does recognizing my own sinfulness affect the way I view other people who have sinned? 4. How might my prayer life change if I prayed more often, “Lord, do Your work in me,” rather than simply asking God to give me what I want? 5. How would my attitude change if I deliberately viewed my circumstances through the lens of grace? 6. If salvation is entirely dependent upon God's grace, how should that affect the way I share the Gospel?

How Jesus Entrusted His Disciples * Matthew 10:1, 5-15 – Sending ____________ by _______________ He told them… Where not to go Vs. 5 ................... Where to go Vs. 6 What to say Vs. 7 .......................... What to do Vs. 8 What not to do Vs. 9 ..................... What not to take Vs. 10 When to stay Vss. 11-12 ...................When to leave Vss. 13-14 * John 21:7,15-19 – Entrusting Peter ___________ denials, ___________ questions, ___________ commands * Matthew 28:18-20 – He commanded them to ____________ _______________ 2. Three keys for entrusting disciples corporately in the church. * Champion entrusting wherever you see it occurring in the church. * Personally enter the entrusting process whenever possible. * Rejoice and covenant to support and pray for those your church has entrusted for ministry in the church or elsewhere. Entrusting Defined: We increasingly and intentionally involve equipped disciples with ministry here and abroad. Questions for Discussion and Application 1. What are things you have learned about the discipling process in our series that will help you be a more effective discipler? 2. The entrusting process takes time. Think back on how the entrusting process developed with your children. How did you increasingly entrust them with responsibilities in the family setting? 3.

Here's what our church family is lifting up this week: SUNDAY - Father, we praise you today that you are our strength and our song and our salvation (Exodus 15:2). We thank you that you have redeemed us in your steadfast love. MONDAY - Almighty God, the King of creation, we thank you for salvation, health, protection, sustenance and defense. We praise, exalt and glorify you as the King of Heaven (Dan. 4:37). TUESDAY - Jesus, we depend on you to save us from sin and we pray for your forgiveness. We know that nothing we can do can meet the law’s demands and that you alone can cleanse us from the guilt and power of sin. You are our spiritual Rock of the ages giving us living water (1 Cor. 10:4). WEDNESDAY - Father, we pray today for unity within your church. As your people, the Bride of Christ, we pray that the world will know we are your disciples because we love one another. We pray for the kind of love that bears fruit (John 15:16-17). THURSDAY - Father, we pray today for wisdom in a world that sometimes follows the foolish. We ask for discernment that we might recognize and follow your way instead of the way that appears to be right but leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). FRIDAY - Father, we pray today for miracles in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. None of us are physically perfect and we could all use a miracle in our bodies that could use your miraculous touch but it’s the spiritual deficit in us that needs the miraculous turning of our wandering hearts to you. SATURDAY - Father, we pray today that you would provide us with giving spirits. Let us be always ready to help those in need. Help us to be grateful for what we have and to remember that every good and perfect gift is from you (James 1:17). Giving Your generosity makes our work in this city possible. We’re so grateful for you.Give Now Here New to our community? No pressure. Today, just be our guest.

Where are you tempted to think, “I have tried to obey God, so why hasn’t he given me this?” What does that reveal about what you may be seeking from God more than God himself? Why do you think Asaph’s perspective changed when he entered the sanctuary? How has gathering with God’s people helped correct your vision when your heart was discouraged, envious, or confused?

Here's what our church family is lifting up this week: SUNDAY - Father, we praise you for your power and might. Help us to keep a proper understanding of who we are and who you are. Help us remember that you are the one who knows all things and can do all things, far beyond our ability to understand. MONDAY - Father, you created us and we are your people. You are good and your lovingkindness is everlasting. For this, we thank you and bless you and joyfully praise you (Psalm 100). TUESDAY - Father, we thank you for the beauty and wonder of your creation. You provide trees to give us shade, flowers to brighten our world, birds to sing to us, and water, even when we are in a dry season. The mountains and oceans display the majesty of what you have made. We are surrounded by the heavens declaring your glory and the sky proclaiming your handiwork (Psalm 19:1). WEDNESDAY - Father, we always rejoice in you and give thanks in all things (1 Thess. 5). We thank you that we can have an attitude of joyful contentment in any circumstance because of what you have done for us, and we are trusting that you are working all things out for our good. We wake up each morning by your grace and thank you for all the good things you have done for us. THURSDAY - Father, we thank you that we do not have to be anxious. We thank you that we can take our cares to you in prayer and that you fill us with your peace. We are grateful that because you are our helper, we don’t have anything to fear (Hebrews 13:6). FRIDAY - Father, thank you for your countless blessings and your unwavering love. We are appreciative of the gift of life, the air we breathe, and the food you provide. Thank you for strength for the body and for our health because every good and perfect gift comes from you (James 1:17). SATURDAY - Father, thank you for walking with us through some of life's most difficult times, giving us comfort and teaching us valuable lessons. We are grateful that you lead us in your truth and teach us as you guide us through each step of the journey (Psalm 25:4). Giving Your generosity makes our work in this city possible. We’re so grateful for you.Give Now Here New to our community? No pressure. Today, just be our guest.

This Week's Message

Main Point: You can hold on when you know where your help comes from.

1. I am with you— 1 Thessalonians 1:2–6

It’s not enough to be an example of surviving; we must be an example of enduring in Christ.

2. Hold on — 1 Thessalonians 1:7–9

3. Help is on the way — 1 Thessalonians 1:10

Maybe God changes your circumstances tomorrow or maybe He doesn’t. Our ultimate hope is that Jesus is coming to set all things right.
