How the Reformed (Biblical) Doctrines of Grace Produce Thanks, Evangelism, and Praise (Family Worship lesson in 2Thessalonians 2:13–14)

What is the point of salvation, and what does that demand of us? 2Thessalonians 2:13–14 looks forward to the second serial reading in morning public worship on the coming Lord’s Day.
