Receiving the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13-16) - a podcast by Don Shoemaker, Steve Williams, and Bob Wriedt
from 2022-01-23T16:00
This week at Grace we're going to look at 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16, a little passage with huge questions.
What do we do when people claim to speak for God?
Why does religious persecution happen?
What do we do with passages of the New Testament that seems anti-Semitic?
Let's get into these tough questions together on Sunday.
In Christ,
Pastor Bob
And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!
