Manifest Evidence of Kingdom Membership - Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon (2 Thessalonians 1:1-5)

[2Th 1:1-5 NASB20] 1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers [and sisters,] as is [only] fitting, because your faith is increasing abundantly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another grows [ever] greater. 4 As a result, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. 5 [This is] a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed are suffering.
