Enduring

• Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12

Christ enables believers to persevere with faithfulness.

We admire people who seem to keep on going no matter what. We celebrate athletes who finish a race after falling or being injured. We model business people who survive setbacks only to come back stronger. Perseverance usually pays off in any context. In the spiritual realm, perseverance changes everything. The church at Thessalonica was struggling, and Paul provided them some much-needed encouragement. When they were tempted to give up, Paul admonished them to stay the course.

When have you felt like giving up? What kept you moving forward?
