Thessalonians
From off a hard to find website. So hard I can't find it anymore. The first two are talks on 1 and 2 Thessalonians, the last is a question session.
Classes
Class 1: Study 1
The class covers the background of Paul's preaching in Thessalonica, focusing on his use of scripture to argue for Christ's suffering and resurrection, and his teaching on the kingdom of God and the coming of Christ. It also discusses Paul's emotional state and the importance of Timothy's return to Thessalonica to establish the ecclesia.
Class 2: Study 2
The class covers themes from 1 Thessalonians, focusing on the coming of Christ as deliverance from wrath and freedom from oppression. It emphasizes the hope and encouragement for newly converted and persecuted believers, drawing connections to historical contexts and Paul's personal experiences.
Class 3: Question session
The class addresses questions about Thessalonians, focusing on Paul's labor and dedication, the timing and location of the letters' writing, and the meaning of being caught up in clouds. It also discusses the importance of work and provision for those unable to work, and the ecclesial practice of praying for lost members, emphasizing the need for discretion and privacy.
