Continuing through 2 Thessalonians we discuss chapter 1 verses 1-9. Here Shaul offers up thanksgiving and prayer to the Lord for the Thessalonians. For increased maturity in the faith and a growing love for each other. As Shaul reminds them (and us) it is a faith that grew because they endured and remained steadfast through affliction, suffering, and persecution. This sermon was delivered by Messianic Rabbi Frank Davis during our Saturday Shabbat Service on July 5, 2025.
