Brief Introduction

Preparing for the Second Coming

Description

No other book of the Bible gives a clearer sequence and detail of the events that surround the glorious return of Jesus Christ than the two letters that Paul writes to a young church at Thessalonica (Greece) who fear that they will be left behind when that great day comes.

Classes include:

Genuine Conversion - In the opening section of his letter Paul, the Apostle, describes the attributes that reveal a genuine conversion to Christ.
True Ministers - In this lesson, Paul defends against attacks by the false teachers in the Thessalonian church by listing the credentials that identify true ministers of God's word in every age.
True Churches - After having laid out the necessary credentials for recognizing true ministers of the gospel, Paul does the same for true churches.
Preparing for the End - In this lesson, Paul outlines the actual order of events that will take place when Jesus returns.
8 Ways To Be Ready - In the final section of his letter to the Thessalonians Paul outlines eight ways to prepare for the sure return of Jesus Christ.
Intro to II Thessalonians - In his second letter to this church, Paul continues to encourage and praise them for their faithfulness and provides even more teaching about the second coming of Christ.

Who is the Man of Lawlessness? - This lesson examines the various theories put forth to explain the identity of the "Man of Lawlessness" Paul refers to in this epistle.

The Judgement Day - This lesson reviews Jesus' teaching about His return in Matthew 24-25 in order to complement the instructions that Paul provides the Thessalonians on this same subject.
