Children of The Day | Lesson 12
from Twin Cities Grace Fellowship Sermons · host Josh Strelecki
Are you living as a child of the day—or drifting as if you still belong to the night? In this sermon from 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11, we explore Paul’s contrast between those in darkness who will be overtaken by the Day of the Lord, and believers who are “children of light, and children of the day.” Building on Old and New Testament passages about the Day of the Lord, the message highlights how our secure identity in Christ and deliverance from God’s coming wrath are meant not just to inform us, but to transform how we walk right now.Pastor Josh unpacks the call to “watch and be sober” by showing what spiritual sleep and drunkenness look like in everyday life—being overcharged with pleasures, distractions, and the cares of this world. In contrast, believers are exhorted to put on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of the hope of salvation, living alert, engaged, and others-focused as we await Christ’s coming. The sermon closes by pressing the practical question: if the Lord came today, would you be found living in line with who you are—light in the Lord—or simply blending into the darkness around you?
