Don't Lose Hope (1 of 8)
by Jerry Vines
Our overall theme in this series in II Thessalonians is ''Hope for the End Times.'' This is the follow-up letter which Paul, under the Holy Spirit, wrote to the young believers in Corinth. The first letter was written to address some of the questions which had arisen in the minds of young believers around the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ. This letter is written to deal with some additional problems that have surfaced in the fellowship as messages have been received to Paul from the believers in Thessalonica. Several problems are prominent in these chapters. There is the problem of the great trial and the trouble that they are experiencing...
2 Thessalonians: The Coming World Dictator (16 of 32)
by Stan Coffey
AUTHORSHIP: The overwhelming evidence is in support of Pauline authorship of 2 Thessalonians. DATE: Shortly after writing 1 Thessalonians in. 51-52 A.D., Paul writes a second letter to them under very similar circumstances. He is still in Corinth and is eager to communicate with the believers in Thessalonica. THEME: After writing his first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul received further news to the effect that the believers were being shaken in their faith on the matter of the Lord's return. Someone had caused them to be troubled as to their relation to ''the day of the Lord.'' Paul reminded the...
Survey from 2 Thessalonians to Revelation (37 of 37)

2 Thessalonians: What to Do 'Til Jesus Comes (16 of 29)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: A university student was seen with a large ''K'' printed on his T- shirt. When someone asked him what the ''K'' stood for, he said, ''Confused.'' ''But,'' the questioner replied, ''you don't spell ''confused'' with a ''K.'' The student answered, ''You don't know how confused I am.'' Confusion is a good word to summarize our next book in our journey through the New Testament - 2 Thessalonians. This little book was written to a group of young Christians who were struggling with some serious confusion regarding the Second Coming and the end of history. 1 and 2 Thessalonians were probably among the first books written...
Shining Through (1 of 9)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Thessalonians. If you've been with us on Wednesday nights, you know we're going through the Book of Thessalonians. We finished 1st Thessalonians right before Christmas and now we are into 2nd Thessalonians, just three chapters. Second Thessalonians was written right on the heels of 1st Thessalonians, and so not much time has passed since Paul wrote that second letter. So we're going to talk about this subject tonight: ''Shining Through.'' When my kids were little, Debbie and I would play all sorts of Christian music for them. And we'd get Christian videos, and they would love the....
Whistle While You Work
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST said, ''I must work the work of Him that sent me...'' (Acts 9:4). He also said, ''My father worketh hitherto, and I must work.'' (John 5:17). If Jesus worked, who am I to think I shouldn't? If Jesus worked because the Father worked, who am I that I should not emulate my Heavenly Father. Not only is it important that we work but that we work with the right motive and spirit. Recently we traveled along the Rhine River in Germany through the mountains where the legend of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs originated. That popular fairy tale became the subject of Walt Disney's first feature length animated film...
Our Coming King
by Adrian Rogers
Yes, the clouds will be rolled back like a scroll, the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, even so it is well with my soul. We are talking about that day, when our Lord shall come again. And this morning is the last in our series of messages from First and Second Thessalonians on the second coming of Jesus Christ, Our Coming King. The Lord shall descend. Would you take God's word and turn to Second Thessalonians chapter one and in a moment we are going to begin reading in verse seven. Second Thessalonians chapter one. You know that's going to be a great contrast between the first coming of our Lord and....
How to Pray for Missionaries
by Ken Trivette
The words ''missions'' and ''missionary'' are not found in the Bible; however, the words have become a part of our Christian vocabulary (or at least should be). Where do the words come from and what do they mean? 2. Our English word ''mission'' comes from the Latin word ''missio'' which was derived from the Greek word ''apostello'' which means ''to send, one sent forth.'' The Oxford English Dictionary says the word was first used in 1598 and by 1729 was used in terms of world evangelization. 3. When we speak of missions we are speaking of reaching people of all races, cultures, and countries with the Gospel of Jesus...
A Strong Delusion (1 of 3)
by Thomas Swope
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. I am a believer in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Who came to this world born of a virgin. He walked this earth fully human and fully God. He died on a cross outside the city of Jerusalem...
Can You Fall down so Far You Can't Get Up? (1 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: A tourist was visiting a famous landmark on the ocean and he'd walked out on a pier to see the ocean better. But as he looked over the edge of the pier he was disturbed by how deep the water seemed to be. As he was thinking about how deep the water must be at this point, he noticed an old man fishing off the pier, and he went over to him and asked: ''If I were to fall into this water, would I drown?'' The old man smiled and said ''Nah. Falling into the water isn't what drowns people. It's staying UNDER the water that drowns them.'' The title for our sermon this morning is ''Can You Fall So Far Down You Can't Get Up?'' In other...
