God’s people are living between two important times in history—the first coming of Christ and the promise of His return in glory. As those transformed by the Gospel, we are to bear up under suffering and spiritual attack by pursuing holiness and fixing our hope on the Savior’s appearing. In his second letter to the Thessalonian church, Paul encourages Christians to continue living with their hope set on the Lord’s return.

This Father's Day message from the "Living Hope" series focuses on 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 and the Core Competency of Life Purpose.
