The news headlines are frightening as the world seems to lurch ever closer to chaos and disaster. What lies at the heart of the problems? And should our response be as the followers of Christ?

The state of the world, the persecution of Christians, and the fact that things seem to be getting worse rather than better can cause us to question if God really has control of it all. Today, Paul encourages the believers in Thessalonica that not only is God in control, His authority cannot even be challenged. He does this in the context of the persecution the church was facing in his own time, as well as looking forward to the greatest rebellion against God the world will ever see.

The world is a troubling place with so much injustice happening every day. On top of that, the church of Christ is being persecuted around the world at an alarming frequeincy.

We will look at how the very same evidences can confirm our hope in God's unmerited favor toward us today.
