Sermon #12 ◦ 04/07/19 ◦ The Preordained Life (2 Thess 2:13-17; 3:1-5) Israel was chosen in time to play out time, but Christians are elected in eternity for eternity. Paul called the Thessalonians to hold fast to the apostolic teaching, and glorify God by refusing deception, and doing service to God by praying for one another. Pastor Daiqing Yuan, Ph.D.

Sermon #11 ◦ 03/31/19 ◦ The Timing of the Second Coming (2 Thess 2:1-12)Paul challenged the doctrine of imminence on the second coming of Christ. He declared that it must be after the revealing of the Man of Lawlessness (Antichrist), whose appearance depends on the departure of the “restrainer.”Pastor Daiqing Yuan, Ph.D.

Pastor Daiqing Yuan delivers a special, in-depth Communion Devotion, sometimes called Sermon #1, before each formal sermon presentation. These presentations are especially meaningful in that they prepare the listener for an active readiness -- mind, heart, & soul -- and re-dedication to Christ concerning the purpose of Communion.

The timing of the second coming of Christ has been the most speculated event in biblical chronology. Rather than speculating on the date, Paul point out the difference in the nature of life, and directs the Thessalonians to focus on God’s grace.
