The Disciplined Life

Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15

In the military code of justice, a soldier can be disciplined for disorderly conduct for actions that disturb the peace and brings disrepute on the armed service. In Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians, he makes a similar charge on those believers who are unwilling to work for a living, but rather are burdening and disrupting the peace of the rest of the Christian community. Paul notes that this disorderly conduct is unbecoming of a Christian, not in line with the commands of Scripture and subject to discipline. Rather, the call to work is a blessing of our King and a benefit to our community. Join us Sunday as we look at the disciplined life as it relates to our calling to work.
