The believers in Thessalonica were under so much persecution they thought they were in end-times. In Paul's letters to the Thessalonians, he encourages them to pursue their relationship with Christ even in the midst of great suffering and clarifies the rapture. Bill is joined by Bible teacher Jeff Verdoorn who spends time in 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24 and explains how to abide in Christ in preparation for the Lord's return. He also uses other Scriptures to emphasize our assurance of salvation. Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support. Give now
