The Thessalonians 1 Of 13 (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

We want to look again at 2 Thess., especially chapter one.

The first thing we see is that the apostle Paul loved this church. This should be an obvious trait of all of God’s children--that they love God and they love His church. Illus: Show me a person who professes to be saved and love God, and yet all week they constantly attack God’s church and I will ...read more

The first 12 chapters are primarily concerned with the beginning of the Church and the issues facing the Church near Jerusalem.

Isaiah's Encounter With The Holiness Of God (Isaiah 6:1-8)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 4, 2024

Isaiah receives a vision of the LORD God Almighty in HIs glory and splendor. He recognizes himself for the sinner that he is, yet God commissions him to be His prophet. This is an encounter of reverence, fear, and service.

The events described in Chapter 6 of Isaiah occur early in the life of the prophet. We read in verse 1 that King Uzziah had died after a reign of fifty-two years. He is also referred to Azariah. He was a king who walked in the ways of the LORD until he tried to offer incense in the Temple, ...read more
