The Word at Work

Desert Springs Church

February 17, 2020 • Ryan Kelly

The Word of God is at work in the church—especially through preaching—encouraging us in times of opposition and persecution.

In the conclusion to his epistle, Paul gives a compendium of exhortations for how the church should live together according to the Gospel.

Paul exhorts Christians to not be surprised at the Day of the Lord, but to eagerly wait and encourage one another with the hope of our salvation.

In the face of grief and death, Paul encourages the church with the hope that comes from a right understanding of Christ's glorious return.
