In an unstable world where the future seems uncertain, 2 Thessalonians reminds us of the great hope of the Christian faith: the glorious return of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul wrote this punchy letter to a young church rocked by a series of deadly challenges: persecution, deception and disruption. His letter contains a simple but timeless message: stand firm, Jesus will return. This eternal perspective shapes our hopes and priorities as we live our lives now in light of Jesus' return.

1. What are the marks of a healthy church? (2 Thessalonians 1:1-4)

2. What will happen WHEN Jesus returns? (2 Thessalonians 1:5-12)

3. What must happen BEFORE Jesus returns? (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)

4. What will keep us going until Jesus returns? (2 Thessalonians 1:13-17)

5. What should our priorities be until Jesus returns? (2 Thessalonians 3:1-18)
