When it comes to growing in faith and love, so often what we go through is what we grow through. In 2 Thessalonians 1, believers were facing all kinds of adversity, trials, and resistance. Despite all this, the Apostle Paul says that their faith and love were growing more and more. Pastor Chris Seidman teaches that our faith, love, and empathy grow in the context of adversity, trials, and resistance. There are times when God doesn’t move as swiftly or immediately as we would like, and we know that when He doesn’t remove the hardship, at the very least, He’ll redeem it—in the form of growing faith, increased love, and inspiring others.
