    About this ebook

    Anchored in Hope
    “Has Jesus already returned?” That was the rumor circulating in Thessalonica. Had they missed it? Uncertainty had thrown their future into question, their hope into doubt. Fear and anxiety hovered at the edges of the fledgling community. Paul wrote to restore their confidence and set the record straight. When fear, anxiety, or doubt threaten to set your faith adrift, 2 Thessalonians will help to anchor your hope and steady your resolve.

      series of Bible studies cover one book of the Bible. Although the L

      IFE

      C

      HANGE

      guides vary with the books they explore, they share some common goals:

      1. To provide you with a firm foundation of understanding and a thirst to return to the book.

      2. To teach you by example how to study a book of the Bible without structured guides.

      3. To give you all the historical background, word definitions, and explanatory notes you need, so that your only other reference is the Bible.

      4. To help you grasp the message of the book as a whole.

      5. To teach you how to let God’s Word transform you into Christ’s image.

      Each lesson in this study is designed to take sixty to ninety minutes to complete on your own. The guide is based on the assumption that you are completing one lesson per week, but if time is limited you can do half a lesson per week or whatever amount allows you to be thorough.

      Flexibility

      L

      IFE

      C

      HANGE

      guides are flexible, allowing you to adjust the quantity and depth of your study to meet your individual needs. The guide offers many optional questions in addition to the regular numbered questions. The optional questions, which appear in the margins of the study pages, include the following:

      Optional Application. Nearly all application questions are optional; we hope you will do as many as you can without overcommitting yourself.

      For Thought and Discussion. Beginning Bible students should be able to handle these, but even advanced students need to think about them. These questions frequently deal with ethical issues and other biblical principles. They often offer cross-references to spark thought, but the references do not give obvious answers. They are good for group discussions.

      For Further Study. These include: (a) cross-references that shed light on a topic the book discusses, and (b) questions that delve deeper into the passage. You can omit them to shorten a lesson without missing a major point of the passage.

      If you are meeting in a group, decide together which optional questions to prepare for each lesson, and how much of the lesson you will cover at the next meeting. Normally, the group leader should make this decision, but you might let each member choose his or her own application questions.
