Sermon Outline

SUFFERING...IN LIGHT OF HIS SECOND COMING

2 Thessalonians 1:5-12


There have been and still today a multitude of Christ followers that have been killed for their faith. Jesus told his followers that it is not easy to be His true follower. Today we come to the topic of suffering…one subject we would rather not think about!


This passage divides into two sections…



GOD WILL JUDGE THOSE AFFLICTING PERSECUTION (2 Thessalonians 1:5-9)






GOD WILL BLESS THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED

(2 Thessalonians 1:10-12)
