They had been a quiet and holy people. But after a while, they had become restless and impatient. They needed direction on how to live. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Paul wrote the young church two letters. The first commended the believers for their faith and encouraged them to continue living according to the gospel principles he had taught. The second letter was filled with helpful hints that corrected their wrong beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors. Whether we are living a quiet and holy life or one that leaves us restless and impatient, Paul's letters encourage us. They challenge us to remain faithful in a temporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, watch for these \u003cem\u003ekey themes\u003c\/em\u003e that Max will unpack throughout the book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe should live in preparation for Christ's return.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod wants holy and pure worship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe time of Christ's return will be unpredictable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow we live our everyday lives, matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Life Lessons with Max Lucado series\u003c\/strong\u003e brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word.
