Obadiah - Does God Have Enemies?



Today, we act like everyone is going to heaven. We talk about God's love, but what about God's anger? Does God have enemies where he is committed to their destruction? If he does, what does it take for God to be committed to saving us, not destroying us?

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 - What Do Pastors Need From Their People?

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - Comfort For The Brokenhearted



What does the Bible say about Christians and sin? Is it possible for a Christian to fall out of grace? Can a significant sin send a Christian to hell after they believe? Does persistent sin nullify the grace of God? Join us as we find the answer.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 - The Slaying Of Satan's Superman - Part 2



How bad will the world get before Jesus returns? What events will take place? When we hear of predictions about Jesus’ return, how do we know if they are true? As we continue our study about the Antichrist, Paul gives us the details we need to be prepared for Jesus’ return and how to avoid being deceived as that day gets closer.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 - The Slaying Of Satan's Superman - Part 1



In my freshman year of college, I met a great friend. Later that year, he would join me on the college wrestling team. He was a great guy who loved Jesus. One thing that was different about him is that after reading a book on end-times prophecy, he was convinced Jesus would return within the year. At Christmas, he left college to give the few short months before Jesus’ return to sharing the good news of Jesus with those who needed to hear. When I was a junior, he returned to college as a disillusioned Christian. When will Jesus return? What things need to take place before Jesus returns? In this study, we look at some of the hardest verses in Paul’s writings about the time of Jesus’ return.

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 - How Should We Pray For Those We Love?



During World War II, the United States used remote islands in the South Pacific as part of their supply routes. The natives on the islands, who had never experienced modern civilization, were fascinated with the lighters that could instantly make fire, jeeps that could drive, and heavy equipment that could push down trees. When World War II ended, the Americans and their stuff disappeared as fast as it came. Since the Americans and their stuff came from the sky, many natives assumed they were gods and began worshipping them when they left. They prayed that the gods would return from the sky and bring them more stuff. While we find this amusing, that is the way many of us pray. We ask God to bring us more stuff. In 2 Thessalonians, we see how Paul prayed for the Thessalonians and what are the right things to ask God for.

2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 - The Just Judgement Of God



In 2003, Governor George Ryan set free 160 inmates on death row. Among the criminals he set free was a couple who murdered a pregnant woman, killed her two children, and cut the baby out of her womb. His personal opposition to the death penalty and unilateral decision to abuse his power and set horrifying criminals on death row free left victims’ families outraged that there was no justice for their loved ones. As we continue our study in 2 Thessalonians, we find that this won’t happen with Jesus and that he will carry out just judgment when he returns.

2 Thessalonians 1:1-5 - What Kind Of Church Did Paul Boast About?



Where are the biggest church buildings in the world located? They are not in America but in Nigeria. The Hand of God Cathedral is under construction. It will hold 120,000 people. The second-largest church building in the world is also under construction in Nigeria. It is known as the Ark and will hold 109,000. The third-largest church building in the world is completed. It is known as the Glory Dome and holds 100,000. You guessed it. It is also in Nigeria. Joel Ostein’s massive Lakewood church is the thirteenth largest church building in the world holding a mere 16,000. Are these the kind of churches that impressed the apostle Paul? Not according to 2 Thessalonians. Join us as we see the kind of church Paul boasted about and how we can become one.

Proverbs - Wisdom For Working With People



We live in a conflict-saturated world. Nations are at war. Crime decimates our cities. The evening news features the ugly battle for the next election. While many lean into conflict, others seem to avoid most of it. How do they do that? When ancient Hebrews prepared their sons for leadership positions, they had them study the book of Proverbs to teach them how to work with people skillfully. In this study, we will learn what Proverbs teaches us about how to avoid conflict and successfully work with those different from us.
