Scripture Lesson:2 Thessalonians 2:16-3:5
Preacher: Pastor Stanley Draper
Description: Thursday, June 18 Reading 2 Thessalonians 2:16-3:5 Paul’s words to the Thessalonians center on the ministry of the Word born of God’s compassion. The God who loved us also gave us the encouragement of his Word and Sacraments that strengthen us in word and deed. Therefore, Paul beseeches the prayers of the Church for its ministers. Pray that their message be spread and the ministers be spared, for there are those who will work against this ministry and its message. Yet see the compassion of Christ modeled in his ministers: Paul’s words are ones of concern and comfort for the people of God. Not the juxtaposition of πίστις and Πιστὸς. The solution to the wicked faithlessness of the Church’s enemies is the faithfulness of the Lord. Planning Christian Worship: Year A, p. 114. Speaker Pastor. S.
