2 Thessalonians Part 4 – Stand Firm in Faith and Love

Reverend Phil Simmonds

PASTORS THOUGHTS

“For our final message in this Thessalonian’s series, Christians are encouraged to stand firm in two ways

1. To stand firm and hold fast to the teachings of God’s Word, that is the infallible and inerrant TRUTH of the Bible under the prayerful guidance of the Holy Spirit and

2. To stand firm in our commitment to prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ, especially for those who have been called to preach and share the Gospel – specifically for
ministers and missionaries, but also for all Christians whom God provides the opportunity to witness in Jesus Name.”

2 Thessalonians Part 3 – The Man of Lawlessness – Part 2

Reverend Phil Simmonds

PASTORS THOUGHTS

“In Part 2 of the “Man of Lawlessness”, God has provided not just Christians, but the World, with a future insight of what to expect in the ‘lead up’ to the revealing of the Man of Lawlessness, and what will subsequently happen in the latter stages of World history – before the Grand and Glorious Finale – the Lord’s 2nd coming! Whilst this can be understandably of concern and even frightening, Christian’s should never lose sight of the fact that no matter what happens in the World arena, God is in control – as 2 Thess.2:6-7 and Col.1:15-17 remind us – and most importantly, that God, in Christ, will not only enable all true believers to endure/persevere 2.Cor.4:8 – but will personally protect their saved souls 1 Pet.1:3-5.”
