This past Sunday, Pastor Dave began our church’s study through 2 Thessalonians with a sermon from chapter 1.

As believers today, we live between Christ’s first and second coming.

In this passage, Paul encourages the believers in the city of Thessalonica to endure suffering with steadfast faith as they wait for Christ’s return.

As we studied Paul’s words to them, Pastor Dave drew out 3 encouragements we can see in the text for enduring suffering:

1. Faith grows through suffering (vv. 1–4)

Paul gives thanks to the Lord for the Thessalonians’ growing faith, increasing love, and steadfastness in the midst of affliction. Rather than destroying their faith, suffering became the context in which God strengthened them and increased their love for one another.

2. Justice is coming when Christ returns (vv. 5–10)

God is perfectly just, and Christ will one day return to judge evil and establish righteousness.

Because God is just, believers can endure suffering with hope and confidence, knowing that wickedness will be overcome and that through Christ we have no fear of hell, but the promise of future glorification with Him.

3. Live faithfully until that day (vv. 11–12)

After speaking about hell and suffering, Paul turns to prayer. In this, we are reminded that Christian obedience is never sustained by our own strength, but that God empowers His people to faithfully endure until Christ returns.

As we wait, let us seek to live for the glory of Christ and depend on God’s power to live today in light of the day of Christ’s victorious return!

This past Sunday, Pastor Tim led us in a study of Isaiah 25.

Following the preceding chapters filled with judgment oracles, we see a shift in tone. In this chapter, Isaiah praises God for the wonderful things He has done and declares His promises.

In verses 1–5, Isaiah speaks words of praise directly to God. He praises God for His plans, His power, and His protection.

Then in verses 6–12, Isaiah shifts to speaking of God’s promises to others. His focus moves from what God has done to what He will do.

Isaiah points to God’s promised plans- a future eternal feast for His people (v. 6).

He declares God’s promised power that He will wipe away suffering and shame (vv. 7–9).

Finally, he declares God’s promised protection - that He will prevail over His enemies (vv. 10–12).

Isaiah praises God for His plans already accomplished and His plans still to come, for His power already displayed and His power not yet fully revealed, for His protection already accomplished and His protection still to be demonstrated.

Because God has done wonderful things, may praise and promise always be on our lips.

This week, consider: What promises of God do you need to be reminded of? Who are you declaring God’s precious promises to? How can you praise God for His provision and protection over your life?

Good news doesn’t stay contained, it always moves outward.

We saw this clearly as Pastor Dave highlighted two movements that take place in Luke 24:28-35.

The first movement is found in verses 28–32: Christ revealed to His people.

As Jesus broke bread with the two disciples he had been walking with, their eyes were finally opened to recognize him.

In that moment, they remembered that the plan all along was for Jesus to suffer first and then be raised.

Before he revealed himself visibly, he revealed himself l biblically - reminding them of what Scripture taught about himself.

Through the Word of God, their slow hearts were transformed into burning hearts.

And as their hearts burned within them and rejoiced that Christ was alive, we see the second movement in verses 33–35: Christ proclaimed by his people.

These two disciples were filled with urgency to share the good news of Jesus’ resurrection with others.

The same truth that set their hearts on fire moved their feet into action.

As YOU reflect on this passage, consider how you can proclaim this same good news to others this week with joy and urgency - pointing them to Christ in the Scriptures and to His finished saving work on their behalf!

This past Sunday, Pastor Dave led us in a study of Luke 24:13–27.

In this passage, we follow two disciples on the road to Emmaus who are joined by Jesus - yet they don’t recognize Him at first.

Through their interaction, we see two powerful scenes:

Scene 1: Forgetting God’s Word leads to confusion.
 The disciples didn’t recognize Jesus in their initial encounter because they had forgotten His words to them - that His resurrection would come after His death on the cross.

Scene 2: Believing God’s Word leads to clarity.
 The issue wasn’t their eyes, but their hearts and their lack of belief. They were slow to believe all that the prophets had spoken about Jesus.

In verses 25-27, Jesus rebukes them for their unbelief and interprets for them all that was said in the Scriptures concerning Himself. He reminds them that the plan all along was for Him to suffer in the place of sinners and then be raised into glory.

These disciples were not uninformed, but unbelieving.

So this week, study God’s Word as you seek to look to Christ, that you may grow in your knowledge of Him and have a heart that is quick to believe all His promises.

This past Sunday, Pastor Jonathan led us in a study of Isaiah 24, a text that reveals judgment paired with hope.

In this passage, we see a movement from ruin to remnant through two observations:

In verses 1–13, we see a divine devastation. These verses show the function of God’s judgment, the explanation of His judgment, and the experience of His judgment.

In verses 14–23, we see a rejoicing remnant. While God’s judgment is often widespread, His mercy is always particular. He lovingly preserves a people for Himself.

This text gives us a picture of where all of human history is headed. It points not only to the removal of evil, but to the reign of God. Not only to the end of judgment, but to the arrival of glory.

For the remnant (those who are in Christ), this will not be a day of fear, but a day of rejoicing, because the one who judges is also the one who has redeemed through the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf.

So, Christian, take heart! Though God judges the world, a remnant will rejoice in His glorious reign!
