Series: 2 Thessalonians

In light of the last days that we live in, our practical, everyday decisions matter. We must not give in to the culture of apathy around us but work hard for the glory of the Lord while there is opportunity. 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18

There’s been a lot of conversations lately about safety. I think it’s obvious that safety is a top concern for most human beings, and in some ways understandably so. Life is valuable, being wise and diligent to protect and preserve it within itself is not a bad thing. But as Christians, we should ask ourselves, “what is true safety in this life?”

Many people are asking about the end of the world. It’s funny how most people don’t think apocalyptic thoughts until something crazy happens in the world, then even the atheist is thinking, “is it the end of the world?”

As God's prophetic plan unfolds in the world, the Christian has a day of hope and desire ahead of them when Christ appears to gather His church. But another day looms for those who reject the gospel. Knowing that we have hope in Christ, we must carry that hope to as many as we can here and now. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

A time is coming when those who are afflicted for the sake of Christ will be comforted, and those who trouble the church will be afflicted by God. Now is the time to find peace with God through His Son before He returns to judge the world in righteousness.

We often think that God and His justice have abandoned us when we suffer for His name or experience tribulations in this life. Paul reminds us that God has not forsaken us but is actually preparing us for His return and everlasting kingdom.
