DAY 39: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 - Encouragement to Honour Leaders and be at Peace

How does Paul describe the work of church leaders? What is their relationship with the congregation?

Paul calls us to respect our leaders and to hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. In contrast Aussie culture wants to make leaders out to be just another one of the boys, to be treated no differently to anyone else. How is our culture at odds with what God is saying here?

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've challenged by from your reading and reflection today

3. Pray for J & R
