    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.

    We have spent the last two Wednesday studies talking about the RAPTURE and what we can expect. 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

    Our past; our present; our future. Our past doesn’t have to count. The only thing that really counts is where we are today, because where we are today determines where we will be tomorrow.

    There were two men out in the country hunting one day when all of a sudden they came upon a very large grizzly bear. They could instantly tell that the bear was looking for lunch. And so, they began to run with all their might. While they were running away from the bear, one of them yelled out ...read more

    As a child I really enjoyed playing hide and go seek. Little did I realize as a child how much this game of hide and seek paralleled the Return - The Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (Updated October 2023)

Although I have not played in quite some time, ......I do remember ... that the seeker, ......was called ... the ...read more

    The Day of the Lord is coming, but if our faith is in Christ, we will escape the wrath of God that will be poured out at that time. In the meantime, we are called to trust Him, live out our faith, encourage one another, and invite people to Jesus.
