Paul tells the Thessalonians of his great desire to return to see them in person and notes that Satan is the one who hindered such a joyful reunion. As Paul looks forward to the Last Day, he knows that the Thessalonians are a source of great joy. That led him to send Timothy to them to check on them, even when Paul couldn't go personally. His purpose was to help the Thessalonians remain steadfast in persecution. Still today, Satan seeks to keep Christians apart from each other, making it urgent for Christians to resist the temptation to forsake gathering together. As we come together now, we receive strength from the Lord's Word and the fellowship of the Church to remain faithful to the end. Rev. Andy Wright, pastor at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Topeka, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5. To learn more about St. John's in Topeka, visit stjohnlcmstopeka.org. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
Paul gives thanks for the way the Thessalonians received his preaching as the very Word of God. That Word has brought forth fruit in Thessalonica as the congregation there was joined to the rest of the Church in suffering for the sake of Christ. Paul encourages the Thessalonians to remain faithful to the Lord even in suffering, knowing that God will bring justice and vindication on the Last Day to those who oppose Him. Rev. Matt Wietfeldt, Assistant Vice President of Admissions at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16.

Paul reminds the Thessalonians of the time he and his companions spent there. Despite previous opposition in Philippi and persecution in Thessalonica, Paul labored diligently to bring the Gospel to the Thessalonians, not to please man, but to please God. Even as he toiled night and day, he did so with the same care and affection that parents show their children. As the Thessalonians recall the way Paul ministered to them, they are strengthened to continue to walk in a manner worthy of the Gospel. Rev. Mark Squire, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in St. Ansgar, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

God delights in using ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. From 1 Thessalonians 2, we're reminded to overcome fear and share Christ with confidence, conviction, concern, and consistency.

Rev. Kris Cooper preaches in Cary, NC at Trinity Park Church. He encourages the church to be encouraged that Word of God is growing us even within four deepest struggles. Even if we historically have to push through persecution as Christians, Jesus died for both the oppressor and the oppressed.

Paul gave the early church his whole heart without losing his head--and that's the key to why he had more influence than almost anyone who ever lived. While people all around us are panicking and catastrophizing, can we do the same? Can we love without reservation, while holding on to our principles, values and best thinking?

Shepherds care for the flock. And when they can't personally offer the care needed, they set up structures to do so. Teacher - Scott Kenworthy
In telling the Thessalonians why he can be trusted, Paul gives us an ideal set of tests for who we should trust in our lives (and how we can be trustworthy ourselves).
