How Do Christians Stay Holy in Today's Culture?

Jul 19, 2026    Larry Ambrose

How do you stay faithful to Jesus in a culture that celebrates compromise?

In Week 2 of Thessalonians: Living in Light of Eternity, Pastor Larry Ambrose walks verse by verse through 1 Thessalonians 3–4 to answer one of the most practical questions every Christian faces: What is God's will for my life?

Paul reminds believers that God's will isn't hidden or mysterious. Scripture clearly tells us that God's desire is for His people to grow in holiness, pursue sexual purity, and live lives that honor Christ—even when the culture around them moves in the opposite direction.

In a world that constantly encourages self-gratification and moral compromise, this message offers biblical encouragement for pursuing holiness, building healthy boundaries, and standing firm in faith.

In this message:


- What God's will is for every believer

- How to pursue holiness in today's culture

- Why faith must endure under pressure

- The importance of Christian community

- Biblical teaching on sexual purity

- How God's love empowers holy living

- Practical ways to honor God with your life
