Persevering in Hope: Remaining Strong

When things are hard and we're told that they are going to get worse, we may wonder if we can endure. How do we not feel overwhelmed? Dr. John points to three truths that fortify us in the midst of trouble.

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.
