INCOMMON Church of the Nazarene in San Diego, California, United States for Sunday Evening, 2 September also with Pastot Jeff Jiminez.
1 Thessalonians 5:1 But you have no need to have anything written to you, brothers, about the times and dates when this will happen; 2 because you yourselves well know that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people are saying, “Everything is so peaceful and secure,” then destruction will suddenly come upon them, the way labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there is no way they will escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in the dark, so that the Day should take you by surprise like a thief; 5 for you are all people who belong to the light, who belong to the day. We don’t belong to the night or to darkness, 6 so let’s not be asleep, like the rest are; on the contrary, let us stay alert and sober. 7 People who sleep, sleep at night; and people who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us stay sober, putting on trust and love as a breastplate and the hope of being delivered as a helmet.[1 Thessalonians 5:8 Isaiah 59:17]9 For God has not intended that we should experience his fury, but that we should gain deliverance through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 10 who died on our behalf so that whether we are alive or dead, we may live along with him. 11 Therefore, encourage each other, and build each other up — just as you are doing.
12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are working hard among you, those who are guiding you in the Lord and confronting you in order to help you change. 13 Treat them with the highest regard and love because of the work they are doing. Live at peace among yourselves; 14 but we urge you, brothers, to confront those who are lazy, your aim being to help them change, to encourage the timid, to assist the weak, and to be patient with everyone.
15 See that no one repays evil for evil; on the contrary, always try to do good to each other, indeed, to everyone.
16 Always be joyful. 17 Pray regularly. 18 In everything give thanks, for this is what God wants from you who are united with the Messiah Yeshua.
19 Don’t quench the Spirit, 20 don’t despise inspired messages. 21 But do test everything — hold onto what is good, 22 but keep away from every form of evil.
23 May the God of shalom make you completely holy — may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 24 The one calling you is faithful, and he will do it.
25 Brothers, keep praying for us.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 I charge you in the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
28 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you. (Complete Jewish Bible).
Prayer.
Paul ends this letter similar to his other letters about living a holy life by the power of tge Ruach HaKadosh. 
Four relationships:
1. Relationship to Lesders
Great but not easy work. Leaders do not always have a title.
Care for people.
Call people out of error and sin.
2. Responsibility of the church to leaders 
Love our leaders
3. Relationship of church to each other.
Live in peace with each other.
4. Relationship with peoplewho are struggling
5. People who are struggling with not wanting to work or have trouble with authority.
Warn and admonish each other.
Always to be patient with each other.
We should never run from difficult conversation. How many people or pastoral leaders shy away from difficult conversations with people whether people who are being left out of the church as people with impairments, etc.
Encourage all people to continue in walk of faith in Jesus.
Help the weak whether the poor or disabled or other marginalized.
Always be patient with all people. 
How do feel when things are going well with you or not going so well with you?
Always remember all followers of Jesus are family as well as all humanity is family.
This job is not just for pastors, but for followers of Jesus. All are to perform pastoral duties to each other whether leaders or not.
Relationship with enemies.
Matthew 5:38-48
Love and care for your enemies and all people who are different than you.
Examples are Ghandi, King, Mandella, etc.
The Kingdom of God does not retaliate but called to Love.
We are to start this love in the church than move outward towards others.
God calls and teaches us to love through how He loves each of us.
Jesus is more than a pacifist but an enemy lover.
God loves to give up His own life as He did with Jesus to show His love for each of us.
The church is to be a community of love for all people starting with the community of faith.
We, the church, must be open to all people dealing depression whether clergy or laity.
We must learn to live out this God's Love towards all people with closing in Prayer, The Eucharist, and being dismissed to live out this love towards each other and all other people in the world.
