What did you learn from Thessalonians? I’d love to hear your from you.
I’m taking a study break from the podcast. In the meantime, please enjoy any of the previous episodes. I have over 500 of them on the website and 300 in the podcast feed.

Paul encourages a suffering church by reminding them of the certainty of God’s justice and judgment. One day their suffering will end. But more importantly their faithful response through suffering is evidence that they will inherit a place in the kingdom of God. Listen
Paul reassures the Thessalonians that Christ has not returned because certain events must happen first. But they can take comfort that Christ will return to bring both justice and salvation for those who believe. Listen.
