Boom! Come join us for the final episode of the season! Enduring hope, expectations, evil people, evading work, and evangelism. Join us for both big themes, and an example of deep dive, granular bible study. What does it look like to discipline someone out of love? To treat them as a sibling while disassociating from them? Paul gives up his rights for the sake of the gospel. What rights are you willing to give up so someone will know Jesus?

Watch out for landmines! The Man of Lawlessness, the end-time Temple, and the Restrainer. Who/what are they and what do they do? Perambulate through the persistent prophetic patterns of the past. Tiptoe toward some typology. Paul corrects deceiving lies and misbeliefs about his own teaching as he encourages the Thessalonian believers that they are the first fruits of the age to come.

What is the object of your hope? We jump in with both feet to 2 Thessalonians 1! After a small discussion about authorship, we consider Paul's continuing themes of faith, hope, and love. He reinforces the idea that God is just, which is a comfort to the Thessalonians in the midst of escalating persecution. Paul encourages them by thanking God for their faithfulness and exhorts them to continue doing good deeds in the confidence of their salvation.

Today we wrap up the book of 1 Thessalonians! Paul shares his final burning exhortations on community and connection within the church. We are saved into community, but that doesn’t mean it's easy. Learn why finding peace on the other side of conflict is worth it.

In the last section, Paul explained how faith and love play out in the lives of believers. Now he gives his first new instruction of the letter and it's focused on our hope in the resurrection. The dead will rise! Where does your peace come from? Who will be there when Christ returns? What does Paul care about? And do we know when the end is coming?

Timothy is back and he's got great news! The Thessalonian believers are doing well and their faith is strong. Paul is overjoyed! Paul then continues on to remind them of ways they can live out their love for each other in specific ways such as through the use of their bodies in both sexuality and daily work.

Paul helps the Thessalonians reframe their lives in light of Christ's resurrection and the age to come. How much should we be experiencing heaven now and why does it feel like we experience so much hell? Live like a spiritual smoothie!

Paul uses familial language to describe his deep affection for the Thessalonians. He defends his motive for spreading the gospel, how true believers accept scripture as God's Word, and how words are words.

We even talk about some of the struggles with reading Scripture as we wrestle with what we bring to the table and how we interact and are transformed by God's Word.
