Passage: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 Speaker: Sam Horn Series: Prayer Week
Speaker: Dr. Sam Horn - "Paul’s fundamental concern is the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To that end, he has worked, prayed, and asked for prayer that the word of the Lord would speed ahead and be honored and that he and his companions would be delivered from wicked and evil men. Paul’s prayer for deliverance is not motivated by concern about his own health or security but by his desire to advance the gospel. Knowing that his calling will lead to confrontation with those in Thessalonica or elsewhere who do not love Christ, Paul nevertheless boldly proclaims the truths and responsibilities of the gospel. He reminds his readers (and us) that the Lord is faithful and will establish and guard his people against the Evil One. Established on these glorious gospel truths of God’s faithfulness, Paul communicates his confidence that the Thessalonians and all true believers will do the things that Jesus Christ and his apostles command." - Gospel Transformation Bible
