Our current teaching series is entitled The Letters To The Thessalonians. In this study Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians are some of our earliest existing writings in the New Testament. As such, they offer a unique glimpse into some of the most pressing issues as the Gospel began to spread across the ancient world. How do believers respond when their faith is a minority perspective and are suffering persecution?
What does genuine holiness look like? Is life after death truly worth believing in, and what does it look like? Will Jesus actually make good on His promise to come back?
These enduring questions and more run throughout these two brief letters, and in this eight-week study, you’ll be introduced to Paul’s inspired response. Discover how the Gospel of Jesus will give you the strength you need as you eagerly await His promised return to make our world right again.
