We’ve begun to study 2 Thessalonians in church before we move on to a series that deepens our commitment to our core convictions on church & discipleship.

So what can we learn from this first chapter?

• Faith is supposed to grow (v.3)
• So is love for your brothers & sisters in Christ (v.3)
• Perseverance & faith keeps you going through persecution & trial (v.4)
• God rewards those who endure for His sake (v.5)
• We don’t need to concern ourselves with revenge but can trust God to do justice (v.6)
• When Jesus comes back it will be spectacular (v.7)
• There is judgement on those who reject Christ (v.8)
• This judgement is final & eternal (v.9)
• Those who believe will marvel (v.10)
• It’s by the power of God that anything gets done (v.11)
• Jesus gets the glory (v.12)
