1 & 2 Thessalonians: Stand Firm in the Faith | Video DevotionalEgzanp

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to 1 & 2 Thessalonians: Stand Firm in the Faith. Before you journey through Thessalonians, watch the short overview video below to learn about standing firm in the faith in the face of persecution, the hope of Jesus' return, and his promise to heal and restore us.

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of Thessalonians. In 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16, Paul commends the Thessalonians for their steadfast faith in adversity. He draws a parallel between their experience and that of the Judean churches, which both suffered at the hands of their countrymen. This serves as a reminder that the Gospel's power is not diminished through opposition, and strength and resilience of faith are most evident through trials.

What's Next?
