Fairview Presbyterian Church (PCA) Sermons

Paul encourages believers to be prepared for the return of Christ, not by trying to calculate the times, but by living in faith, love, and hope.

Continuing our sermon series, we look at two purposes behind Paul's composition of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. He wrote to clarify and comfort. Let us be comforted! Christ will return.

Preaching for our fourth Sunday evening worship service and installation of our pastor, Kenneth Maple, Dr. Cathcart reminds us all that scripture is our only rule for faith and practice, and a pastor's job is to feed his flock with the whole counsel of God.

Jesus said, "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35), and Paul in 1 Thessalonians shows us this. We are to love one another in the church and by our work show Jesus to those outside of the church.

Josh Grimm, RUF Campus Minister at Queens University in Charlotte, NC, shares with us a sermon from the Beatitudes on how to mourn, telling us that Jesus invites us to grieve with Him in the sure hope of His comfort.

1 Thessalonians 4 begins a very practical section that also helps answer the question: "What is the will of God for my life?" And it answers, "your sanctification." Give a listen as we consider that God has called us not to impurity but to holiness.

The apostle Paul says he prayed night and day for the Thessalonians (3:10). In verses 11-13, we see this scripture-saturated prayer, and we consider the gift of scripture to help us to pray.

In our evening service this month, we consider Christ as the only one suited for the role of mediator between holy God and sinful people.

In this passage, Paul exhibits great affection for the Thessalonians. As we study we realize how important we are to one another when we go through affliction. Give a listen as we continue our sermon series through 1 Thessalonians.

The Word of God is living and active and sharper than a double edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), and this is evident from our text. We see the Christians in Thessalonica receive and accept the Word as what it really is, the Word of God, which is at work in believers. Have you received and accepted the Word?

Continuing our sermon series through 1 Thessalonians, we look at Paul, Silas, and Timothy's bold, gentle, and diligence ministry.

Continuing our sermon series through 1 Thessalonians, we consider assurance of salvation. Have you received the Word of God? And do you see evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in your life? If you can say yes to these things, do as the Thessalonians do and take your faith everywhere to the glory of God.

Kicking off our summer sermon series on 1 Thessalonians, we begin with the Apostle Paul's short and yet theologically profound greeting.

He is risen, indeed! Celebrating the resurrection of Christ, we turn our attention to Revelation 1.
