SUBJECT:<\/strong> Perseverance<\/p>\n PROPOSITION:<\/strong> Why ought we be not weary in well doing? Because in doing good there is a 1) Reward 2) Need 3) Example.<\/p>\n OBJECTIVE:<\/strong> To encourage everyone to be not weary in well doing, but to continually be faithful to the Lord.<\/p>\n INTRODUCTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Read: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18<\/p>\n 2. About the Text:<\/p>\n 1) The church at Thessalonica was relatively new when Paul wrote this epistle.<\/p>\n 2) And like all new churches, they had some problems.<\/p>\n 3) There were some who believed in the imminent return of Christ.<\/p>\n 4) As a result, some of them had stopped working and were behavior like busybodies.<\/p>\n 5) Paul had to write this second epistle to correct this misunderstanding.<\/p>\n 6) His instructions to the fledgling church were to withdraw from those who were being disorderly.<\/p>\n 7) Such is never an easy process.<\/p>\n 8) Moreover, these faithful brethren may have been discouraged by those who were not working.<\/p>\n 9) Paul encouraged them, however, not to be weary in well doing.<\/p>\n 3. About today.<\/p>\n 1) Today there are times when we may be discouraged as well.<\/p>\n 2) Perhaps we’re discouraged by the circumstances of our life.<\/p>\n 3) Maybe our job isn’t working out like we think it should.<\/p>\n 4) Perhaps our family relationships are a struggle.<\/p>\n 5) Perhaps we see some brethren not being faithful to the word of God like those in Thessalonica.<\/p>\n 6) The temptation is to give up and quit doing what we know we need to do.<\/p>\n 7) At such times we need to remember Paul’s words of encouragement.<\/p>\n 8) “Be not weary in well doing.”<\/p>\n 9) Let’s think of some reasons why we ought not to be weary in well doing.<\/p>\n 4. Ref. to S, T, P, O, and A.<\/p>\n DISCUSSION:<\/strong> In being not weary in well doing, that is, in doing good, there is…<\/p>\n 1. Why ought we not to be weary in well doing? There is great reward in doing good.<\/p>\n 2. There is an intrinsic reward.<\/p>\n 1) There is in doing good an intrinsic reward.<\/p>\n 2) That is, when we do good things, they are, in and of themselves, rewarding.<\/p>\n 3) Consider Paul’s thoughts in 1 Corinthians 9:18: “What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.”<\/p>\n 4) Jesus said, John 13:17 “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”<\/p>\n 5) Consider also the parable of the wise and foolish man. Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”<\/p>\n 3. There is also eternal reward.<\/p>\n 1) Matthew 5:12 “Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”<\/p>\n 2) Colossians 3:24 “Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”<\/p>\n 3) Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”<\/p>\n 4) Revelation 22:12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.<\/p>\n 4. Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”<\/p>\n 1. Why ought we not to be weary in well doing? Because there is a great need!<\/p>\n 1) Edmund Burke is attributed as saying, “All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.”<\/p>\n 2) Peter wrote, “For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men” (1 Peter 2:15).<\/p>\n 2. If we consider ourselves to be good folks, then let us do good.<\/p>\n 1) Jesus said, “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.” (Luke 6:35)<\/p>\n 2) Heb 13:16 “But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”<\/p>\n 3. We must seek to overcome evil with good.<\/p>\n 1) Romans 12:21 “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”<\/p>\n 2) 1 Peter 3:8-9 “Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.”<\/p>\n 4. Let us not be weary in well doing because when we do good we satisfy a great need.<\/p>\n 1. When we are not weary in well doing and we do good things we set a good example for others.<\/p>\n 1) Consider Dorcas\/Tabitha.<\/p>\n 2) Acts 9:36 “Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.”<\/p>\n 3) She was a woman full of good works and she remains a great example for us today.<\/p>\n 4) Consider also the example of the woman who anointed Jesus at the house of Simon the leper.<\/p>\n 5) Jesus said, “She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.” (Mark 14:8-9)<\/p>\n 6) Her example lives for us today.<\/p>\n 7) 1 Timothy 5:25 speaks in this regard also, “So also good works are conspicuous, and even those that are not cannot remain hidden.”<\/p>\n 5. In setting a good example, we bring glory to God.<\/p>\n 1) Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”<\/p>\n 2) Consider Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”<\/p>\n 3) Psalms 86:12 “I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.”<\/p>\n 4) 1 Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”<\/p>\n 6. Let us not be weary in well doing, for in doing good, we set a good example.<\/p>\n CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. We ought not to be weary in well doing because…<\/p>\n 1) There is great reward in doing good.<\/p>\n 2) There is a great need for us to do good.<\/p>\n 3) We set a great example and glorify God when we do good.<\/p>\n 2.
