The Thessalonians had been wavering in their faith. They’d been listening to false teachings about Christ having returned, and had allowed doubts to creep in and move them. So Paul calls them to return to the firm foundation – to stand upon the gospel teachings they had both heard and read from Paul; to 'stand firm'.<br />

STAND FIRM (2 Thessalonians 2: 13-17)

A perfect sinless future world - an impossible world - is planned by God. Micah describes it in chapter 4. But in the meantime, amidst gathering wickedness and opposition, the Lord encourages His remnant people: “I’m here! I’m sovereign. I’m in control. I don't only have good future plans, but plans for you now. Look to me. Trust me. Wait for me and see what I will do.”<br />

GOD'S PURPOSES IN THE MEANTIME (Micah 4:6 - 5:5)

A neglected aspect of the Christian life is that it's a life of conflict - with the Devil, and also with our own sinful flesh. It's why the Apostle Paul often invoked military metaphors to describe the conduct of the Christian - it's our calling to be good soliders. Visiting Preacher Reverend Richard Birch explores and unpacks what this means.

BEING A GOOD SOLDIER (2 Timothy 3: 3-4)

Robert Morris considers the call of Gideon, a reticent and unexpected would-be-deliverer, and draws practical lessons for us.

GOD AND GIDEON (Judges 6:13-16)

We are presented here with a tale of the impossible - the total reversal of everything, against all odds! The man who wants to destroy the Jews is destroyed; the man who would be executed is vested with power and authority; and the powerless trophy wife – Queen in name only - suddenly becomes a true Queen worthy of the name. Only God could do this, and His divine fingerprints are all over this wonderful account.
