2 Thessalonians 1

The Disciple and Stress

January 14, 2018 • Paul Mowery

Most Americans are suffering from high levels of stress, with a large number reporting that their stress levels have increased over the past five years. We struggle with marriage and family, money, and health issues, in fact the list of causes of our stress is probably endless. The church in Thessalonica not only was dealing with the stress of life but also persecution. The Apostle Paul begins to write to this church to bring comfort and to assure them that they were not forsaken by God. Under stress we are prone to accuse God of being unfaithful to His word. Join us in this study of 2 Thessalonians chapter 1, to learn that God is even at work in our times of struggle.

The issue of the “Last Days” can be a complicated one that can produce more confusion than blessing. The Church at Thessalonica is one example of that very thing. Paul writes to them to bring both calm and clarity. Join us as we look at the opening verses of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, as the Apostle tries to make the complex simple.

There is a word that has been floating around the news of late, it’s the word “Dossier” which means a collection of documents about a person. What the Apostle Paul provides us with in chapter 2 of 2 Thessalonians is information about a person he refers to as the man of sin the son of perdition. We commonly refer to him as Anti-Christ. Join us as we try and develop a Biblical perspective on who he is and what he will do.

In our study this week we read, “Therefore God will send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie”, God, not just allowing deception but sending it, is something that might make us uncomfortable. And yet it’s exactly what we read as we close out the second chapter of 2 Thessalonians. So, does this make God unjust or even a liar? Join us as we sort out this difficult passage.
