Pray Without CeasingBible Readings: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28Summary: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 compares prayer to breathing,calling it the soul’s spiritual breath, made possible by the HolySpirit. The sermon points to Pentecost as the time when the Spiritturned the early church into a community of prayer. Prayer isdescribed as essential to Christian life, not just an extra activity.Paul’s words to “pray without ceasing” mean living in constantdependence on God, showing gratitude, and staying connectedwith Him, rather than praying nonstop. Even though the youngchurch in Thessalonica faced hardship and persecution, Paulencourages them to stay faithful, love one another, and keeppraying as people who live in God’s light.Preached By Rev Lourens Nel on 24/5/26 AM Service
