2 Thessalonians 2:16 ಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಉಚಿತ ಓದುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆರಾಧನೆಗಳು

Has Jesus already come and gone? Second Thessalonians assured fearful people who had been told a lie and that Jesus Christ’s second coming was still to come. He didn’t leave you behind. Don’t give up. This same truth keeps a fire kindled in our hearts that produces self-control, discipline, and determination to keep moving forward. Trusted Bible teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee leads us through this short, powerful book.

Written shortly after 1 Thessalonians, Paul’s second letter continues to encourage the Thessalonian church by admonishing them to stand firm on the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:15). As Paul instructs the church about the coming of Christ, we are reminded to be made worthy of God’s calling and fulfill all the good works of faith.

Join me for a three day devotional as we uncover the true meaning of Christmas. What things do you most look forward to and love about Christmas? It probably has something to do with making new memories and taking time to enjoy old ones, right? The decorations, the traditions, the celebrations with family and friends—it’s a special time of year and there’s nothing else like it. We roll our eyes when stores begin marketing the holiday months in advance, but it’s hard to blame them. Christmas is an entirely unique season, and even though we sometimes don’t want it to come at us too early, many of us can admit we also don’t want it to end. We’d rather hold on to Christmas than let it go, and it’s important to consider why.

This plan offers a 3-day journey through the book of 2 Thessalonians, making it ideal for both individual and group study.

In this five-day plan, you and your children will be challenged to view difficulties and disappointments from God’s perspective—as small pieces of a much larger story that God is writing. You’ll discover how God’s power and love can be a source of hope, and how God’s word can bring light to our dark moments. Each day includes a prayer prompt, brief scripture reading and explanation, hands-on activity, and discussion questions.

Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica to clear up confusion circulating about Jesus’ return. In a previous letter, Paul had said Jesus’ return was imminent. Some in the church took that to mean Jesus was coming back immediately. Paul corrects them and instructs the church on how to live in the meantime. Reading this study, you’ll face the reality of Jesus’ return and our responsibility to live for him.

Where do you go when life overwhelms you? God invites us to come before His throne in prayer. He waits, He listens, and He guides us as we pour out our hearts to Him. Learn how to pray in difficult times through the prayers of five godly men in the Bible who found strength before the throne of God.

Coming to major crossroads in life can be an intimidating and nerve-wracking experience. Follow God's Word and he promises your paths will be made straight.

When we place our focus on the “what-if’s” and “how’s”, our lives become consumed with worry. The Bible tells us that we don’t have to live exhausted and defeated by the concerns of this world. This plan will help us identify the root of our worry and will help direct us away from worry and move towards a life of peace and faith in Christ.

Every Christian generation since the early church has wondered, "When will Jesus return to earth?" God hasn’t revealed that knowledge, but the fact is the return of Christ could be any day. This 7-day reading plan from Pastor Jeff Schreve will encourage you and guide your heart to Christ, helping you live on mission, ready for the last days – whenever they come.

Just as we experience aspects of one another while growing in friendship, we share the wonders of God as we seek to simply know him. He calls us to value our relationship with him so that, above all else, our love for Him is more significant compared to others. May you encounter wonderful aspects of your relationship with your heavenly Father as we wholeheartedly seek to know him with all we are.

Our life experiences have defined us for far too long. Instead, we can choose to acknowledge them, learn from them, and allow them to serve as stepping stones as we become the women God has predestined us to be. Author and educator, A. Margot Blair, invites us on a journey to find freedom in Christ, break free from strongholds, and grow in spiritual maturity.

What does it mean to be free? In this Plan, we will explore the meaning of true freedom in Christ. “For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave” (1 Corinthians 7:22, NIV).

Does it seem like the world could collapse at any moment? Paul gave God’s answer in two letters to the Thessalonians. A sudden crisis and danger kept Paul separated from these new believers. Paul's letters encourage believers to persevere in the cause of Christ, expecting His return. Discover how our choices to faithfully obey God could impact our times and future generations.

Is our life progressively changing after encountering Christ? How can we build assets that last beyond life? How can we radiate joy, contentment, and peace in all situations? This, and much more, is addressed in Paul’s letters. Not only does he teach, he leads by example. As false teachings and leaders are fast penetrating, these letters rock churches into strong defense and action. Their undiluted truths continue to transform lives.

This plan is intended to help you walk through grief in a healthy way as you discover how to cling to the Lord and His people.

In this study, we will see that throughout the New Testament Jesus and others often talked about His return. The purpose of this study is to offer encouragement as the hour draws near, helping us to live aware but not in fear. As we watch and wait for Christ’s return, may He find us working and witnessing.

You’ve got mail—but the return address may surprise you! In this 14-day plan, rediscover the writings of the apostle Paul in their original format: letters to believers like you! Read and ponder these famous passages as you imagine sitting among the early Christians and experiencing their encouragement for the first time! Listen to these inspired words read aloud in the Letters from Paul Video Series.

For many people, “hope” is something positive but also something uncertain. If we hope for something, we are not sure whether it will happen. However, the Bible teaches us that there is a source of hope that is absolutely certain and trustworthy — God's character and promises. This reading plan is about hope from a Biblical perspective.
