Remaining Steadfast in Distressing Times: Remaining Steadfast in Distressing Times

Sometimes we are given hints that trouble is coming, but other times we find ourselves suddenly in the face of it, without any warning. In this introductory message, Dr. John walks us through Paul’s brief journey through Thessalonica and the adversities the Thessalonians are suddenly faced with upon his arrival and ministry. Their response teaches us how to remain steadfast, unmoved and confident in our faith, even in the most distressing of times.

Remaining Steadfast in Distressing Times: We live in distressing times. There is a thin veil that has been placed over our eyes most of the time, causing us to forget that death and destruction are right around the corner. And then there are seasons when that veil is torn from our eyes, and suddenly, fear surrounds us. We are no longer blinded to the dangers of sickness, wars, death, and so many other things. On this side of eternity, our reality seems dreary. But even in difficult times, there is hope to be found! Join Dr. John Neufeld in this 15-message series called Remaining Steadfast in Distressing Times that will dive into 1 Thessalonians, as we study the early Church and learn what they did to remain steadfast through hardship.
