Unchanging Word Bible Podcast

The Unchanging Word Bible broadcast is studying 1 Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 14-16 where Paul is comparing the persecutions the Thessalonian church experienced to the churches in Judea who are also in in Christ. So, Dr. Mitchell draws our attention to the opposition to the message of the Gospel. The two sources of a Christian's persecution are unbelieving people of the world and Satan. Both are enemies of God, of Christ, of the Word of God and of the Christian.

Welcome to the Unchanging Word Bible study! We are in 1Thessalonians chapter 2 beginning at verse 13. In this passage Paul gives a reason for why he is praying for this new little church in Thessalonica. It was because they actually believed that the message Paul proclaimed to them was actually the Word of God and not merely a message from a man, or some new johnny come lately philosophy. Not only did they believe God's Word but it was already at work in them producing fruit in their lives. Dr. Mitchell points out how these young believers were already suffering persecution for the Word of God just like the believers in Judea did when they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. He states that this persecution comes from the enemies of God, both people and Satan. Turn with us in your Bible to 1Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 13.
