PREPARING FOR CHRIST'S RETURN (Part 1) • "Persecution" • Barry Bandara

• This Series: The first letter to the church at Thessalonica is a relevant letter for our day. These believers were worried and a bit stressed that they had somehow missed the coming of Christ. Today, many believers are worried and stressed that the coming of Christ is not coming fast enough. This study through this intimate letter will help prepare us for the imminent return of Jesus Christ.

 

• This Week: After Paul goes into great detail of his love for this church, he encourages these believers in their persecution. Many believers are surprised, shocked, and flat out angry when they face persecution for their faith. Buckle up believers, it’s just getting started. How will you stand in the face of persecution?
