Sermon Summary:

While the Thessalonians Christians represent those who, upon receiving the gospel–the Word of God–accept it, the unbelieving Jews represent those who continually reject it. This passage is a warning for those who refuse the gospel, and it is a reminder of the immense value of Christ to those who accept it and suffer for it.  

Series Summary:

Called the "Cinderella Epistles of the New Testament" by some, 1-2 Thessalonians are an often overlooked treasure of gospel hope for those who follow Jesus. Despite intense persecution, the Church of the Thessalonians persevered in the faith, longing for the day that Jesus returns to deliver his people and judge the wicked. Exemplifying the unique and genuine bond that arises through a shared faith and struggle, the Apostle Paul wrote to remind the beleaguered Thessalonians of their hope in Christ and to instruct them on how to carry on until he comes.
