  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Waffer, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland, County
• 0:12
  of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  So Paul said when we are with you, we worked, even though we
• 0:41
  took time to preach the gospel to you so that you would know
• 0:44
  the gospel truth, we still work. And the reason why Paul did this
• 0:48
  because this was a young church. This was not an established
• 0:51
  church. These were new Christians.
• 0:53
  He was just bringing the word of God to them.
• 0:55
  Now the Bible clearly talks about the fact that as those who
• 0:59
  are teachers, pastors, teachers, what not, that it's biblical to
• 1:04
  receive compensation for the labor that we do.
• 1:08
  As Pastor Lewis continues his teaching series through the book
• 1:11
  of Second Thessalonians, he'll be challenging you to work and
• 1:14
  not be a lazy Christian. The most efficient and capable
• 1:18
  worker should always be Christians.
• 1:21
  The Apostle Paul himself reminded the church that he also
• 1:24
  worked but didn't constantly ask for money and resources.
• 1:28
  Paul simply wanted to preach the gospel and give them this
• 1:31
  blessing and not want anything in return.
• 1:34
  This is a great example of selflessness which the Lord
• 1:37
  delights in. Now here's Pastor Lewis in the
• 1:40
  Book of Second Thessalonians Chapter 3, with today's edition
• 1:44
  of Living Waters of Grace. This word disorderly means that
• 1:48
  he's walking in a way that's he's idle.
• 1:51
  He's walking in a divisive way or disruptive or unruly.
• 1:55
  This is difficult because it's us seeing a brother who is not
• 2:00
  walking in the things that we have received from the Lord.
• 2:04
  And Paul says, OK, after so many warnings, you have to just
• 2:10
  separate yourself for a while. You got to withdraw from that
• 2:14
  brother to let him know that what he's doing is not approved
• 2:18
  of in this community. And this is not the first time
• 2:21
  that he gave those kind of warnings that we go over.
• 2:24
  We go back, as a matter of fact, the First Thessalonians chapter
• 2:28
  5, First Thessalonians chapter 5.
• 2:32
  And look at verse 14. He says now we exhort you and
• 2:35
  this is in the 1st letter. In the first letter he said we
• 2:38
  exhort you brethren, warn those, warn those or admonish those who
• 2:44
  are unruly, comfort the faint hearted and uphold the weak.
• 2:49
  So he told them about that and he wrote about that back in the
• 2:52
  1st letter. He knew what was going on and he
• 2:55
  said, look, you need to go ahead and deal with those brothers
• 2:58
  that are unruly because they will be a disruption in your
• 3:02
  community. There'll be a disruption.
• 3:04
  And so he says it again here in chapter 3 of the second letter.
• 3:11
  In verse 6, he says it again. And this time he says again,
• 3:15
  withdraw from those brothers. We've warned them, We've warned
• 3:20
  them. This isn't the first time we've
• 3:21
  given them a warning. We've talked to them about this
• 3:24
  a few times and we've warned them and we let them know what
• 3:28
  the unruly behavior was. And they still, they refuse to
• 3:31
  listen. They refuse to listen.
• 3:33
  So we have got to take action. And he says, withdraw yourself
• 3:38
  from those brothers. And he says and, and, and do
• 3:41
  that with those brothers who are disorderly, which means they're
• 3:43
  not walking according to the tradition which he received from
• 3:48
  us. And we talked about it last
• 3:50
  week, that that tradition is not when we talk about a cultural
• 3:53
  tradition, you know what I mean? Our families have traditions,
• 3:57
  just things that we do every Christmas or things that we do,
• 4:00
  you know, every Thanksgiving or things that we do, whatever the
• 4:03
  traditions may be. Everybody have different
• 4:05
  traditions. He's not talking about that.
• 4:08
  There's traditions that we do as African Americans.
• 4:11
  There's traditions that some people do as Europeans or as
• 4:14
  Mexican Americans or whatever. There are traditions.
• 4:16
  Everybody have traditions, whether it's cultural, ethnic or
• 4:19
  whatever it is. He's not talking about that.
• 4:22
  You continue in those things. He's talking about the
• 4:25
  traditions that you receive from the Apostles teaching of the
• 4:29
  truth, the apostles doctrine, the word of God that he has
• 4:34
  passed down that came from Jesus Christ and passed down to the
• 4:38
  apostles or the disciples and now given them to you.
• 4:42
  He said those things. That is what you have to walk in
• 4:46
  accordance with. And sometimes people get
• 4:50
  together. I mean, there's some churches
• 4:51
  that confuse the extra biblical traditions with those that are
• 4:57
  biblical and sometimes they put more emphasis on the extra
• 5:00
  biblical traditions than they do the things that are biblical.
• 5:06
  Jesus had to correct the Pharisees about that.
• 5:09
  So you know, you're making the word of God.
• 5:10
  None avoid because you don't want to give your your parents
• 5:15
  any money. You said so that thing that we
• 5:17
  would give to our parents that's called Corbin.
• 5:18
  That means that we separating it for God.
• 5:20
  Bible. Don't say that.
• 5:21
  The Bible says honor your father and your mother.
• 5:24
  So Jesus said you're, you're making the word of God, you
• 5:28
  know, you're making it invalid. You're taking the power from the
• 5:31
  word, you're trying to take the power from the word of God.
• 5:33
  That's tradition. That's extra biblical tradition,
• 5:37
  The things that are tradition that from the apostles, those
• 5:39
  are the things that are written in the word of God.
• 5:42
  So if you want to get traditions for your family that you
• 5:44
  constantly want to keep, get them out of here.
• 5:48
  Teach your family the word of God, Have them respond to this.
• 5:54
  Know what this says and how we live.
• 5:58
  These are the traditions that you want to keep, that you want
• 6:01
  to keep in, in, in in front of your family.
• 6:05
  So what you received from us, for you know yourselves how you
• 6:09
  ought to follow us, for we were not this early among you.
• 6:13
  Verse 8 says, nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge,
• 6:17
  but we worked labor and toil night and day that we might not
• 6:23
  be a burden to any of you. Verse 9 says, not that we did
• 6:26
  not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you
• 6:32
  should follow us. Paul says back.
• 6:35
  He says, look, do or follow the example that I gave you or that
• 6:41
  we gave you when we were with you.
• 6:43
  What's the example that you get from them?
• 6:45
  What's the example that you get from your leaders?
• 6:48
  What's the example that you get from your leaders?
• 6:50
  That's what we should do, the example Paul said, look how I
• 6:54
  walked among you, and this is how he walked among them.
• 6:56
  Let's go back for a second to first, That's, I'm sorry, First
• 7:02
  Thessalonians. Yeah, chapter 2, very quickly
• 7:05
  going to 1st Thessalonians, chapter 2.
• 7:08
  And here in chapter 2, we're going to start right here in
• 7:10
  verse 5 that says for neither at any time do we use flattery
• 7:12
  words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness.
• 7:15
  God is witness. Nor did we seek glory for men
• 7:18
  either from you or from others, when we might have made demands
• 7:22
  as apostles of Christ. OK, and then it goes on to verse
• 7:25
  7. It says, But we were gentle
• 7:27
  among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own
• 7:31
  children, so affectionately longing for you.
• 7:34
  We were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of
• 7:37
  God, but also our own lives, because you have become dear to
• 7:42
  us for you. Remember brother, in our labor
• 7:45
  and toil for laboring night and day that we might not be a
• 7:50
  burden to any of you. We preach the gospel of God.
• 7:55
  So Paul says when we are with you, we worked even though we
• 7:59
  took time to preach the gospel to you so that you would know
• 8:02
  the gospel truth, we still work. And the reason why Paul did this
• 8:06
  because this was a young church. This was not an established
• 8:09
  church. These were new Christians.
• 8:11
  He was just bringing the word of God to them.
• 8:13
  Now, the Bible clearly talks about the fact that as those who
• 8:17
  are teachers, pastors, teachers, what not that it's biblical to
• 8:22
  receive compensation for the labor that we do.
• 8:26
  The Bible teaches that, He teaches that.
• 8:28
  But Paul is saying that this was a young church not established
• 8:33
  yet. We're just bringing the gospel.
• 8:35
  We don't want it to look like that.
• 8:37
  We're using the gospel as a way to make money off of you.
• 8:41
  So by example, we want to be those who are giving you the
• 8:47
  gospel and not asking you to do anything.
• 8:50
  It's the churches that are established that Paul was
• 8:53
  receiving support from. But when he first goes into a
• 8:56
  community, he's not asking them for anything.
• 9:00
  He's not asking people for anything.
• 9:01
  He doesn't pass the plate when he, you know, evangelize
• 9:04
  somebody and they become a new Christian.
• 9:06
  He's sharing the gospel for the first time.
• 9:08
  He's not passing the plate in front of them.
• 9:10
  Paul said that's for people who are established church members.
• 9:13
  He said, so we didn't even ask that of you.
• 9:16
  We had the authority, yes, to be supported, but we didn't even
• 9:19
  use that because we wanted to be an example for you.
• 9:22
  And and and 1st Corinthians Chapter 11, verse one, Paul
• 9:26
  said, follow me or imitate me as I imitate Christ.
• 9:32
  So he said, be that imitation, you know, imitate me because I'm
• 9:36
  imitating Christ. And then here in verse 10, he
• 9:40
  says, for even when we were with you, we commanded you this.
• 9:43
  Here's another command. If you will not work, neither
• 9:48
  shall you eat. Hear what he said there.
• 9:52
  He didn't say if you don't work. He didn't say if you can't work.
• 9:56
  He said if you will not work, neither shall you eat, will not
• 10:02
  work. You have the opportunity to work
• 10:04
  and you don't work. You know, even if you're on
• 10:07
  unemployment, one of the questions they asked you is did
• 10:11
  you not work when work was available?
• 10:14
  They asked you that question literally like we're not giving
• 10:17
  you money for you to just sit around and collect.
• 10:20
  If money, if a job is available, you need to get up and go to
• 10:23
  work. We ain't doing this thing where
• 10:26
  you just collect for 16 weeks because you think you can.
• 10:30
  No, if a job is available, get up and go to work.
• 10:35
  And Paul says here, he says if anyone will not work, neither
• 10:41
  should they eat. Because see, there's some people
• 10:43
  who can't work. Maybe there's a physical
• 10:46
  problem, they can't work. Maybe no work is available.
• 10:50
  Look, I'm getting up every day and I'm going to fill out, you
• 10:53
  know, job applications and I'm just not getting anything.
• 10:57
  There's nothing out there right now available, but they want to
• 11:01
  work. They will work, but there's
• 11:04
  nothing available. He's not talking about them.
• 11:08
  He's not even talking about those who are underemployed.
• 11:12
  There's some people who have a job, but things happen.
• 11:17
  Things happen. You get income.
• 11:19
  Maybe they're not making a whole lot of money.
• 11:21
  They have an income coming in and they have their budget down.
• 11:24
  Then all of a sudden, bam, the car goes out, boom, the
• 11:27
  refrigerator dies, boom, the stove dies.
• 11:31
  And all of a sudden you got to put a, you got to come up with a
• 11:36
  decent sum of money at one time to be able to take care of those
• 11:39
  things. Those things happen.
• 11:43
  Those things happen and the church is there to help.
• 11:46
  The church is there to help. We want to help people who are
• 11:50
  working, or maybe they're underemployed and things just
• 11:53
  come up. Maybe a health issue comes up
• 11:56
  and a lot of your money is now going to paying medical bills.
• 11:59
  Those things happen. Those things happen, but the
• 12:03
  person who will not work, that's the person that Paul says should
• 12:09
  not eat. They're capable of working
• 12:13
  physically. They can work.
• 12:14
  Work is available. They just want to stay on the
• 12:18
  couch and play video games, Paul said.
• 12:21
  We ain't having that. Then you shouldn't eat.
• 12:26
  Apparently, if you're not hungry enough to work, then you ain't
• 12:28
  hungry enough to want something to eat now.
• 12:31
  Now, you know, I remember back when I was growing up that there
• 12:35
  were some people that would come to your house right around
• 12:38
  dinnertime. Right around dinnertime.
• 12:46
  Misses Harold. Misses Harold.
• 12:48
  Well, I mean, where were you all day or where were you yesterday
• 12:51
  or the debut Right around dinnertime.
• 12:54
  Time to come in. My mother is never going to eat
• 12:57
  in front of somebody and not offer.
• 12:59
  And they know that. They know that people do that
• 13:02
  sometimes, but you have to want to work.
• 13:07
  Paul is saying, and then he goes to verse 11 and he says, for we
• 13:11
  hear that there are some of you who walk among you in a
• 13:15
  disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busy bodies.
• 13:19
  And I just want to share, you know, I just want to share that
• 13:24
  even back in the Old Testament, in biblical history, God always
• 13:31
  put emphasis on work. Always.
• 13:34
  Every man that he used in the Old Testament and the new
• 13:39
  actually were men or women who worked, They worked.
• 13:44
  Moses, he was a shepherd keeping Jethro's sheep, Joshua.
• 13:49
  He was the man. He he was the the the commander
• 13:52
  of Moses's army and then eventually succeeded Moses.
• 13:56
  Gideon. He was threshing wheat when the
• 14:00
  Angel came to him and called him.
• 14:02
  There were 4 fishermen who were tending Nets.
• 14:07
  Peter, James, John, Andrew, they were tender Nets.
• 14:15
  Jesus called them and said I'm going to make you fishers of
• 14:18
  men. They worked, they were working.
• 14:21
  Jesus himself was a Carpenter for his ministry got started.
• 14:25
  He worked as a Carpenter. He worked, He had a trade.
• 14:30
  And if you go back to Genesis chapter 2, you'll see that God
• 14:34
  worked six days creating the world, and then it was on the
• 14:37
  7th day that he rested. On the 7th day he rested, but
• 14:41
  he'd already completed the world.
• 14:43
  Everything God worked. And what did he do with Adam
• 14:47
  right after he created Adam out of the dust of the ground and
• 14:50
  blew the breath of air, the breath of, of, of, of air into
• 14:54
  his nostrils. What did he do with him?
• 14:57
  The first thing he did was put him in the Garden of Eden and
• 15:00
  tell him to work it till it tend to it.
• 15:03
  He had a job before he had a wife and kids.
• 15:09
  He had a job before he had a wife and kids.
• 15:12
  That's what God, that's the priority that God has placed on
• 15:15
  working. In John 9, Jesus says I must
• 15:20
  work the works that that that he who sent me has given to me
• 15:24
  because there is going to be a time when, you know, I must work
• 15:27
  wise day because night is coming when no man can work.
• 15:30
  And this is something that we use for our kids in training to
• 15:33
  motivate them to work. In Proverbs 1423 it says in all
• 15:36
  labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads to poverty.
• 15:46
  Idle chatter leads to poverty. We understand that Jesus, that
• 15:51
  the Jews regarded work as an evidence of good character and
• 15:55
  they passed that down, they passed down trades to him.
• 15:58
  But we know that the Greeks and the Romans, they despise hard
• 16:01
  labor. They despised it.
• 16:03
  They would get slaves to do that for them.
• 16:06
  So some of these people here were expecting others to just
• 16:09
  provide meals for them. So they stopped working
• 16:12
  partially because of the bad teaching that they had received
• 16:15
  from some of these false teachers that had come in and
• 16:18
  was telling them that the day of the Lord has already come and
• 16:22
  he's going to be coming back for you at any minute now.
• 16:24
  So they decided we ain't no sense working.
• 16:26
  We'll just wait on the Lord and we'll have other people feed us
• 16:28
  while we're waiting. But Jesus told the apostles, he
• 16:32
  said, look until I come occupy till I come occupy you work, you
• 16:39
  serve until I come back. Verse 9, he goes on and he, I'm
• 16:45
  sorry, verse 12, he goes on and he says that now these those who
• 16:51
  are such, we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ
• 16:55
  that they work in quietness, eat their own bread, work in
• 17:00
  quietness and eat their own bread.
• 17:02
  So he says at the end of verse 11, he says they're not working
• 17:06
  at all. These people who are disorderly,
• 17:07
  they're not working at all. And they are busy bodies.
• 17:10
  Now the busy bodies are just gossiping people who meddled in
• 17:13
  the business of everybody else. That's what the busy bodies are
• 17:18
  meddling people who get in the business of everybody else.
• 17:21
  And, and, and basically what this is saying is that because
• 17:24
  you are idle and you're not working and you're spending your
• 17:27
  time doing anything productive, you have time to go get in
• 17:30
  everybody else's business and cause dissension and cause
• 17:35
  division and disruption. Paul said.
• 17:39
  No, we can't have that. We can't have that.
• 17:42
  Busy bodies. The Bible talks a lot about not
• 17:45
  being a busy body. In fact, in fact, over in First
• 17:50
  Peter chapter 4, he actually puts busy bodies as a prohibited
• 17:57
  sin along with murder and theft in the same category as murder
• 18:03
  and theft. First Peter chapter 4, you don't
• 18:07
  have to go out. I'll read it for you myself,
• 18:10
  4/15, he says. But let none of you suffer as a
• 18:12
  murderer, a thief or evildoer, or as a busy body and other
• 18:18
  people's matters. He put busy bodies in the same
• 18:21
  category, in the same line with murderers and thieves.
• 18:26
  That's how much he does not like the idea of idleness.
• 18:32
  See the world does that. The world does that.
• 18:34
  They sow those seeds, they gossip, sow seeds of discord.
• 18:37
  They met on other people's affairs.
• 18:38
  The church should not do that because it doesn't glorify God.
• 18:42
  And then it goes on in verse 13, it says, As for you brethren, do
• 18:46
  not grow weary in well doing. Don't grow weary.
• 18:50
  Look, you have seen other people do some bad things and, and, and
• 18:55
  sometimes this can wear you out. You're working, you see that
• 18:59
  they're not working. They're being busy bodies in
• 19:01
  everybody's business and you're still trying to be nice.
• 19:04
  You're, you're, you're, you're, you're giving to them as they
• 19:06
  need, you know, and they're giving you evil for your good.
• 19:10
  And all those things, those things can make us weary.
• 19:14
  They can make us weary, cause us to question why am I doing this?
• 19:19
  But Jesus said the reason why we're doing it, we're not doing
• 19:21
  it for the people. We're not doing it for the
• 19:23
  people. We got to keep our eyes on him,
• 19:26
  not the people, because He says that He is the one who gives us
• 19:31
  our reward. The people don't give us our
• 19:33
  reward. So we, we, we have to make sure
• 19:36
  that we don't lose heart in this battle because of the opposers
• 19:41
  and because of those who are busy bodies and other people's
• 19:46
  matters. We got to make sure that we
• 19:48
  don't lose heart and turn around ourselves first.
• 19:51
  First Corinthians 15 and 58 says that you know that your labor in
• 19:55
  the Lord is not in vain, so you got to be steadfast and
• 19:59
  unmovable. Don't let nothing move you away
• 20:01
  from what you need to do. And then of course, it's
• 20:05
  Galatians 69 that says don't become weary and well doing for
• 20:08
  in due season. That means in God's time, in
• 20:11
  God's only appointed time that He has for you, you're going to
• 20:15
  reap if you do not lose heart. Don't let what others do or not
• 20:21
  don't affect your ministry. Or the way that you serve the
• 20:24
  Lord, keep your eyes on him. And then in verse 14, he goes on
• 20:29
  and said, if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle,
• 20:32
  note that person and do not keep company with them.
• 20:35
  Now this is getting into church. This is church discipline here.
• 20:38
  This is church discipline. OK, and church discipline.
• 20:42
  There's a there's a definition for the definition is denying
• 20:45
  the fellowship of a believer in Christ who is involved in open
• 20:49
  sin, slothfulness and and and and busy bodiness and people not
• 20:54
  working. That is need for church
• 20:59
  discipline. The occasion for or people who
• 21:01
  are involved in usually people involved in sexual sins or
• 21:04
  creating division within the body of Christ or those who are
• 21:08
  just in defiance of leadership. Those are the occasions that
• 21:12
  which church discipline needs to be invoked.
• 21:16
  And the reason why we do church membership and this is important
• 21:19
  is so that the church can remain pure.
• 21:22
  The church should be a house, a place of God that's pure.
• 21:25
  The body of of of, of, of the church.
• 21:27
  That's us. You know, we want to be pure
• 21:30
  before God as much as we can. We want to be pure.
• 21:34
  And then the goal of it is to win back the brother or sister
• 21:39
  who was caught in the sin to win that.
• 21:41
  That's the goal. It's never it's never just to
• 21:43
  put them out, never to get rid of them all together.
• 21:46
  But the goal is for them to think about what they're doing,
• 21:49
  repent and to come back and be restored.
• 21:54
  OK. And then in verse 15, it says,
• 21:56
  now if you don't count them as an enemy but admonish them,
• 21:59
  they're not our enemies. They're the family.
• 22:01
  They're our family, Brothers of God, sisters of the Lord,
• 22:06
  sisters of us in the Lord, brothers of us in the Lord.
• 22:09
  They're not enemies, OK? We have to walk with them until
• 22:13
  they are able to or pray for them until they're able to get
• 22:18
  victory over this thing. And sometimes the way to get
• 22:21
  their attention about it is to admonish them, which means that
• 22:24
  you warn them and express disapproval.
• 22:26
  And if they don't listen to that, then you have to execute
• 22:29
  church discipline, which means that you have to withdraw
• 22:32
  yourself from them until that time that they do come to the
• 22:36
  acknowledgement of their sin and repent.
• 22:38
  Verse 16 says, Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace
• 22:42
  always. It's peace.
• 22:44
  Whenever the church is obeying what the Lord says to do, the
• 22:47
  church has peace. Chaos comes when there's
• 22:51
  disobedience. That always brings chaos.
• 22:55
  But when people are in or walking in obedience together
• 22:58
  and encouraging each other to walk in obedience, there's
• 23:00
  peace, there's peace. So Paul said may you have peace.
• 23:04
  May the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every
• 23:08
  way that the that the Lord the Lord be with you.
• 23:11
  Amen. Verse 17 said that the
• 23:13
  salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every
• 23:18
  epistle. So I write.
• 23:20
  Remember, there were others who were writing letters and was
• 23:23
  trying to say that these letters were coming from Paul.
• 23:25
  And it had a lot of misinformation in those letters
• 23:28
  and it was leading them astray. It was leading them to go down
• 23:32
  the wrong path. That's why some of these people
• 23:33
  quit working. OK.
• 23:35
  And Paul is saying, you'll know that this letter came from me
• 23:38
  because at some point at the end of this letter, I will take the
• 23:42
  pen from the person who's writing it, and I'll write a
• 23:45
  line or two and put my name. And that's how you know this
• 23:48
  letter came from me. So Paul said out of doing every
• 23:51
  letter, I am going to write it in my own hand, which is a sign
• 23:56
  to you that it actually came from me.
• 23:59
  And then in verse 18 says the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
• 24:01
  being with you all. Amen. 1st Thessalonians 416
• 24:09
  through 18 says, For the Lord himself will descend from heaven
• 24:12
  with a shout, with the voice of an Archangel, and with the
• 24:15
  trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, and then
• 24:19
  we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
• 24:23
  them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we
• 24:26
  shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another
• 24:30
  with these words. If you've ever found yourself
• 24:34
  wondering if it's all going to be worth it in the end, the
• 24:37
  answer seems clear. You are living here now for
• 24:41
  Jesus so you can live in the clouds then with Jesus.
