The second letter to the church at Thessalonica lacked the essential elements of Paul's theology. Why was it written and why did the church hold one to it? 

Today, Ellen will help us to take a look at Psalm 22.

In Paul's last chapter of his first letter to the church at Thessalonica, he gives many short exhortations. The early churches found this so helpful that they copied Paul's letter and passed it on to others. How do we use this information in our own lives? The Methodist movement was all about being honest about where you were and where god wanted you to be. So today, we will do a little practical work with this goal in mind.

The early Christians at Thessalonica believed, as did Paul, that Jesus would return soon. As time passed, some in their circle would die of natural causes or through persecution. What would happen to them? Did they get left out? We have this hope. Let's actually talk about it.

What does holiness mean and what does it have to do with a tuning fork? Join us to explore the second prayer in Paul's first leeter to the church at Thessalonica.

In the introduction to Paul's first letter to the church at Thessalonica, we see the theological themes of faith, love, and hope as we do in many of his letters but we also see that Paul understand what it means to be an example. That is important to consider, especially in the world we now abide.
