When it comes to trials no one usually rushes into them. But when they do come, our response to them is telling. As we look at the way in which the church in Thessalonica handled their circumstances, we notice how Paul commends their patience and endurance through trials of persecution. Pastor Jeff reminds us that God wants to actively work through the trials that we experience as well, if we will allow Him. And as the enemy seeks to weaken us through our trials, we are reminded that we need to run to the Lord and He will work on our behalf. With more on our study titled, “Encouragement in Suffering,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in 2 Thessalonians 1 for our time in Sound Doctrine.
