Sermon Outline

  • Your Sanctification Is God’s Will
    • God’s will for His people is sanctification (verse 3a)
    • Grow in sanctification by walking in the Holy Spirit not your bodily desires (Galatians 5:17-24)
  • Your Sanctification Should Be Increasing
    • The Thessalonians were doing well so Paul called them to greater sanctification (verses 1-2)
    • Neglecting your sanctification is disregarding God’s authority over your life (verses 7-8)
  • Lifelong Sexual Purity Is Vital To Your Sanctification
    • While sanctification involves many things, sexual purity is particularly important (verses 3b-4)
    • This is relevant to every person (verses 5-6)
