In Look Up When Others Are Looking Down, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through 2 Thessalonians, calling believers to stand firm as the world grows darker. With the authority of inerrant Scripture, he warns against false teaching, exposes the coming deception of lawlessness, and points to the certain return of Jesus Christ in power and glory. These four messages remind us that suffering cannot overthrow God’s promises, Satan cannot defeat Christ, and fear must not rule the people of God. Believers are called to repent, hold fast to the Gospel, intercede for others, work faithfully, and lift their eyes to the Father who will never let His children go.  

In this message, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to the Biblical stability that only comes from Christ. Paul reminds the Thessalonians that God chose them, saved them through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, and called them through the Gospel. Because Scripture is inerrant and Christ is Lord, believers must not be shaken by fear, false teaching, or lawlessness. Our confidence is not in ourselves, politics, or circumstances, but in the Savior who loved us before the foundation of the world. As darkness rises, God’s people must stand firm, pray for one another, intercede for the Gospel to advance, and look up to the Father who will never let them go.
