SwordPlay - Ep. 15 - 2 Thess. 3

- What does it mean for the word of the Lord to “be honored”? (v.1)

- Tough Text: Does prayer really work? (1a) Then, why does it seem like my prayers aren’t answered?

- Who does Paul have in mind with the “wicked and evil men”? Connection to “not all have faith?”(2)

- Can we reconcile “protection from the evil one” with their persecutions and afflictions of 1:4? (v.3)

- What does an unruly brother look like? (v.6)

Should we disfellowship everyone who doesn’t work? (6) - “keep away”

- Verse 10 sure seems harsh. What if someone can’t work due to a disability?

Lightning Round:

- Does a minister have a right to be paid? (v.9)

- What is a busybody? (11)

- What does it mean to work in a quiet fashion? (v.12)

- Why would Paul be concerned of their growing weary in doing good? (v.13)

- Does verse 14 describe disfellowship or some other form of church discipline? (v.14)

- Did Paul write only the last verse himself? Why? (v.17)

- What does all this mundane, day-to-day instruction have to do with eschatology?

- More prayers to Jesus (5, 16). It’s still OK to pray to Jesus, right?
