Dr. Jordan Rogers begins preaching through The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians in this sermon from 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 entitled, “The Evidence of God’s Righteous Judgment (Part 1).”

In 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 the Apostle Paul encourages the Thessalonians to continue in faithful endurance through persecution and affliction as they look forward to the salvation which will come at the glorious Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He teaches them that their endurance under persecution is not only proving their kingdom-worthiness, but that it is also further verifying the validity of God’s righteous judgment which will come upon the ungodly at the Second Coming of Christ.
