In this Bible study, we begin Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians by looking at faith, endurance, righteous judgment, and the revealed return of Jesus Christ.
Chapter 1 reminds us that a suffering church is not an abandoned church. Paul encourages the Thessalonian believers because their faith is growing, their love is abounding, and their patience remains steady under persecution.
We also examine the powerful teaching that Christ will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, bringing rest to His people and righteous judgment upon rebellion.
Key themes in this study include:
Faith growing under pressure
Endurance in persecution
God’s righteous judgment
Rest for the troubled
Christ revealed from heaven
Flaming fire and final accountability
Christ glorified in His saints
Memory Verse:
2 Thessalonians 1:7 — “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels.”
