Thessalonians Series; wk. 3 - 1 Thessalonians 3 "Stand Firm"

First Thessalonians 3 reminds us that following Jesus does not exempt us from hardship. Pressure will come and our faith will be tested, but God can use those trials to produce a stronger and more steadfast faith. Like a pearl formed layer by layer under pressure, God can use difficult seasons to teach us to trust Him more, depend on ourselves less, and stand firm in Him.
