Big Idea of the Series: In a world filled with death, war, and evil, how are we to face what feels like an unknowable future? What do we do with our anxiety regarding the days ahead? In 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Paul provides comfort and reassurance to those living in uncertain times. These letters discuss the future of Christ’s Second Coming, and what believers should do while awaiting his return. Paul encourages believers to be prepared, to cling to the truth of what they have been taught, and to live responsibly in light of the future. My goal for this series is that we will take these words to heart, so that we can face the future without fear.

Big Idea: We can live with confidence in the present when we are biblically informed about the future.
