Before Timothy reported on his hurried return to the church at Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul was very concerned about the new converts there. He had been with them for only three or four weeks, many converted, but then he was compelled to leave town. He is concerned about their faith persisting. He is concerned that the impact of religious persecution and Satanic temptation might collapse their faith. Timothy's report brings Paul great joy; their faith and love has persisted and developed!

Part 11 The Faithfulness of God
March 21, 2021 • Pastor Travis
This Sunday we come to the end of our series through 1 and 2 Thessalonians. We have enjoyed learning about the hope filled church as Paul shares his thankfulness for the gospel ministry of this young church standing up for the gospel amidst great persecution. This Sunday we will cover 2 Thessalonians 3. Paul one last time is challenging us to be faithful to the work God is doing within us and outside of us. Join us as we continue to learn how to be faithful disciples and a hope filled church.
Part 10 The Man of Lawlessness
March 14, 2021 • Pastor Travis
One of the great hopes we have as Christians is knowing that Christ will one day return. Scripture reveals to us some details about his return that we ought to pay attention to. In the passage this week Paul explains some of the events that will take place before Jesus will return. Join us this Sunday as we work through 2 Thessalonians 2 exploring the important themes of Jesus Christ’s second coming and some of what will take place before he does.
Part 9 Comfort In Persecution
March 7, 2021 • Pastor Marty
Paul begins his second letter to the Thessalonians with some words of commendation and then some information that comforts these people who are being persecuted because of their faith in Jesus Christ. The commendation is because their faith and their love for one another is deepening and increasing. The comfort Paul want them to feel is found in their future, when Jesus comes again with his fiery angels.
