1–2 Thessalonians [EPUB ebook] 
A 12-Week Study

The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions that help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) ‘Gospel Glimpses’ that highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) ‘Whole-Bible Connections’ that show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) ‘Theological Soundings’ that identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible.
Over the course of 12 weeks, this study connects Paul's letters to the Thessalonians to the lives of Christians today. These epistles encourage readers by reminding them of the salvation God will bring to all those whom he has called—strengthening them to pursue lives of holiness and love as they anticipate Jesus's return.
