Persevering in Hope: Productive for Life

It may be that on a Monday morning you ask yourself, "Why am I going to work?" If we are just working for a paycheque, our motivation can wane. Today Dr. John reminds us of both God's intent for work and His blessing upon it.

Persevering in Hope: In order to persevere through any trial, hardship, persecution, affliction you have to believe that things will get better. Under such conditions, Paul writes this letter of hope to the church in a dark time of persecution and affliction, a persevering hope. 2nd Thessalonians is written to give suffering Christians a reason to remain steadfast. Hope is the fuel for perseverence and is focused on the certain return of Jesus Christ. In this series, we will not only discover more about the Lord’s return but stand on the same hope the Thessalonian believer possessed. A hope that can be passed on to every believer.
