Does God have Bad Breath? - 2 Thessalonians: week 1

<p>Persecution has a purifying effect on the church. So many claim to be persecuted but are we really being persecuted?</p> <p><br></p> <p>This church in &nbsp;Thessalonians was being faithful even in the middle of persecution and trials. Are we faithful to God in difficult times?</p> <p><br></p> <p>There is a reward for the suffering you are going through. The relief will come, but it is on God’s time.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Many people takes the freedom that we have as an opportunity to be complacent.</p> <p><br></p> <p>There’s a temptation for us to want to see God’s judgement come upon the ungodly. But God is patient because He doesn’t want any of us to perish.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Are Catholics following Jesus? We need to realize that we are made right thought faith in Christ not because of what “religion” we belong to.</p> <p><br></p> <p>When is Jesus coming back? With it be by the end of the year? Or is it another thousand years away?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Your quest is to go and make disciples while we wait for Christ’s return.</p> <p><br></p> <p>What is discipleship? Is it simply a 12-week “discipleship class?” Is that how Jesus called us to spend our life? We are never supposed to stop discipling or being discipled.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>God calls us not who we are but who we will become.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>This week’s discussion features Judah Thomas, Lenny Salgado, Ben Cossette, David LaManna and Johnny Vaina</strong></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thrivingintheword/message
