About This Series

Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians addresses confusion and false teaching that had crept into the church. Written to correct misunderstandings about the Day of the Lord and to encourage perseverance under persecution, this epistle provides essential guidance for discerning truth in times of uncertainty.

In this focused verse-by-verse study, Dr. Peter J. Carter explores Paul's correction of error and encouragement for faithful living, covering:

  • Perseverance through persecution and affliction
  • God's righteous judgment and relief for the faithful
  • The sequence of events before the Day of the Lord
  • The revealing of the man of lawlessness
  • Distinguishing truth from deception
  • The importance of apostolic tradition
  • Church discipline and Christian responsibility
  • The need for productive work and community support

This series will equip believers to stand firm against false teaching, understand biblical prophecy, and maintain Christian discipline in their communities.
