Paul wrote to seven churches (or groups of churches)—Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians. His two Thessalonian letters were probably among the very first of the inspired writings which came from his pen. Both Thessalonian letters deal with aspects of the Lord’s return and plant our feet on the highest possible ground. There can be nothing, in this life, beyond the Lord’s return.

As you engage in these studies, you will learn how the Lord’s return affects both the church and the world. You will find that the theme of the second coming of Christ is not only intensely interesting, but also extremely practical.
