Final Remarks

In this sermon, Pastor Dr. John S. Waldrip delivers his "Final Remarks" from 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28, offering four essential closing points for the Christian life. He guides the audience through the simplicity of Christian practice—faith, love, and hope—and applies it practically to prayer, urging believers to pray for their leaders. He addresses Christian position through the "holy kiss," emphasizing warm, affectionate greetings and holiness within the church family. He discusses preparation by charging the brethren to widely disseminate and read God's Word. Finally, he focuses on God's provision of abundant, undeserved grace, available daily through the Lord Jesus Christ and the body life of the church. The sermon concludes with the pastor formally announcing his resignation to pursue missionary work.
