Let's get started. Second Thessalonians chapter one. Our text will be verses 6 through 10. We left off last week in verse 5, so we'll pick it up in verse 6. And I'll ask you to stand if you're able. You can follow along as I read. If not where you're seated is fine. The Apostle Paul is writing and by the Holy Spirit

says verse 6, God is just, he will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled and to us as well.

Oh, really? I can't wait. When is this going to happen? Oh, he tells us. This will happen

when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

They, verse 9, will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord

and from the glory of His might on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people

and to be marveled at among all those who have believed this includes, because you believed our testimony to you.

Wow.

Let's pray if you would join with me.

We'll ask God's blessing on our understanding.

Loving Heavenly Father, we're so thankful to you for your word and this portion that we

have before us today.

But Lord, we're also keenly aware that at this time we need for the Holy Spirit to bless this

to our understanding, the application of it to our lives.

So Lord, will you speak into our lives in and through your word by the Holy Spirit.

Your servants are listening.

Lord, get our attention and keep our attention.

As you do, we pray.

In Jesus' name, amen and amen.

You can be seated. Thank you.

So the title that I chose for today's sermon is judgment is coming.
