Praying and Persevering - August 24 2025

The Gospel never advances without opposition, which is why Paul urges the Thessalonians in 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 to pray. We must pray for missionaries—that God’s word would spread powerfully and that His servants would be protected from those who resist the truth. Yet Paul also reassures us: “The Lord is faithful.” He will strengthen us and guard us from the evil one. Our perseverance does not rest on our willpower but on God’s faithfulness. And so we fix our hearts on His love and Christ’s endurance, learning to pray boldly and persevere steadfastly for the sake of the Gospel.Series: Encouragement for Pilgrims on the WayScripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5Speaker: Pastor David Hallett
