The Rescue is Real
June 24, 2022

2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

  1. Vs. 4-5 What is my “go to” response, my default reaction when I am faced with a serious trial that includes very real suffering? Do I immediately question God’s goodness and love for me or am I able to see hard times from a Biblical perspective and embrace them? How have I recently responded to a trial allowed by God in my life? Be honest? 1 Thess 3:3; James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 4:12; 1 Peter 5:10 

  2. Vs. 6-9 How do I perceive God’s judgement against evil? Is my view of God’s holiness & justice biblical or worldly? What does the false doctrine of annihilation teach? Heb 12:28-29; Mat 3:11; Lu 12:49; 1 Cor 3:13; 1 Peter 1:7; Mat 25:41; Ju 1:7; Rev 20:10

  3. Vs. 10 What are the Biblical responses I am to believe and put into practice that the Lord has given me to experience comfort and grow in endurance as I face trials, tribulation and even persecution?
    1 Thess 5:16-18; 1 Pet 2:21-23; 1 Peter 4:1; 1 Peter 5:10
