    Paul wants to make it perfectly clear that he doesn’t know when the Lord is returning to earth, nor does anyone else. We will note five things about this passage for this study.

Paul said he didn’t want us to be ignorant of what is going to happen even though many Christians are. He has explained how the dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are living Christians at ...read more

    After answering the Thessalonians' concerns about the dead in Christ, Paul then addressed their concerns about when Christ would return. Paul makes three very important points about Christ's Second Coming.

    Introduction: A. Do you remember which childhood game included these words: “Ready or Not, Here I Come”? 1. How many of you enjoyed playing “Hide and Seek”? 2. Which did you enjoy more: being the one hiding or the one seeking? 3. You remember how the game went: a. The ...read more
