Sermon Overview
Despite severe opposition, the gospel bore fruit in the lives of the Thessalonian believers. One of the clearest evidences of the gospel’s transforming work was their attitude toward the Word of God. In this passage, we consider two responses to the Word of God marked by faith and unbelief.
- Thanksgiving for Accepting the Word of God (2:13-14)
- Acceptance of the Word (2:13)
- Endurance Under Opposition (2:14)
- Condemnation for Opposing the Word of God (2:15-16)
