PAUL'S SECOND LETTER TO THE THESSALONIANS
SERMON SERIES
​June 2018 - July 2018

In this sequel to First Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul writes to head off three potentially major problems that threaten to derail an otherwise healthy church: the problem of enduring persecution, doctrinal error, and moral anarchy. In this book, we see some heavy truths about the End Times, on eternal reward and punishment, and on church discipline, but we also see some of the clearest teaching on eternal rewards, the value of hard work, and glorious promises that Christ will protect and provide for the needs of His people.

Sermons in This Series:

2 Thessalonians 1:1-12   Justice & Grace
Benjamin Hatch  |  June 3, 2018

The Thessalonians were facing increasing and terrible persecution. In this passage the Apostle Paul shows us what the right response is to injustice: first, remember God's past and present faithful grace, second, remember that God will execute ultimate justice in the end, and third, remember the promise of God's future grace.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, 5-8a   Deception & Degradation
Benjamin Hatch  |  June 10, 2018

In this passage, the Apostle responds to doctrinal confusion which is plaguing the Thessalonians related to the End Times. In this sermon, we see first, that we are not yet in the End, second, that things are presently taking place which are setting the stage for the End, and third, we look at three specific events that will take place before the End.

2 Thessalonians 2:4, 8b-12   Antichrist & Christ
Benjamin Hatch  |  June 17, 2018

In this passage, Paul details the future events centered on the Antichrist. In this sermon we see that first, Antichrist will be empowered by Satan, second, Antichrist will deceive the world, third, Antichrist will be a vehicle of divine judgment, fourth, Antichrist will be a megalomaniac, and fifth, Antichrist will be defeated and Christ will triumph.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5   Provision & Protection
Benjamin Hatch  |  June 24, 2018

In this transitional passage between two of the major sections of the book, Paul prays for the Thessalonians and asks them to pray for him. These prayers reveal God's amazing blessings of provision and protection for the believer. They also disclose the proper response to God's goodness: our loyal obedience.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-13   Work & Generosity
Benjamin Hatch  |  July 1, 2018

Paul introduces the third major problem the Thessalonians faced: the Thessalonians had permitted ongoing disobedience among a number of church members who refused to work. In this sermon we see the value of hard work, the danger of indulging the idle, and the virtue of generosity.

2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14-18   Discipline & Love
Benjamin Hatch  |  July 8, 2018

We conclude our look at 2 Thessalonians by examining Paul's instruction to the church to execute discipline against the persistently unrepentant freeloaders. In this sermon, we see the command to discipline, the process of discipline, the purposes of discipline, and the dangers of discipline.
