Genesis 3:8-24; 4:1-26,Creation, the Fall, the results of Sin but there is hope through the line of Set.

Isaiah seeing the throne of God through a vision.

Historical description of the Assyrian army.  The army sent to Jerusalem and wanted to intimidate the Israelites.  Hezekiah prayed and asked Isaiah to pray also.  The Lord said that Assyria will be defeated because they have blasphemed against God.

2 Chronicles 10:1-11:4, 1 Kings 9:1-9, 11:1-13; 2 Kings 15:17-20; 16:1-9; 17:1-5; 18:13-18The nation of Israel became a divided nation.  A brief history of Assyria.

Finishing up 2 Thessalonians.  The command given at the church's inception.  Report about what is happening.  What is required and the admonition for the rest of the church.  The closing of the letter.

The call is to avoid the unruly.  What is "unruly" behavior and who is being unruly.

Using the Lord's name in vain is more than just swearing.  One also does not claim a relationship that they do not have.  That is also a sin.

The need for others to petition God, ask others to pray for you.  Pray for the Gospel to spread, protection from evil.  Prayer counts on God's strength & faithfulness.

John 3:5-8; Matthew 3:1-2, 4-9; Mark 1:1-4, 8; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 4:1-; Acts 16:31-34; 1 Peter 3:21-22.  Baptism does not bring salvation but is a declaration of being saved.  There is a reason for full submersion in water.

Discussion of the seven tenants of Fresh Hope.  A Biblical based support group for those with a mental health diagnosis.  Mental health affects approximately 50% of Americans.  However, it also affects those around them.

Thankful to God for His calling of the Thessalonians.  Salvation is the great paradox taught in Scripture.   The reminder that God's calling into salvation comes through the Gospel which results in sharing in the glory of Christ.  The benediction is even about God.

It may seem the end is near but there will be definite signs.  Matt. 24:4-8.  The lawless one is a type of anti-Christ.  There are consequences for loving sin.

Be wary of those that entice to sin.  The end result of those that sin.  The pursuit of wisdom, it is a treasure to be sought.   It does not come through intuition but through diligence in seeking God's Word.

Jesus shepherds us throughout each day.  He shepherds us all of the days of our lives.Ps. 23: 1-2 - Childhood - Protection & ProvisionPs. 23: 3 - Youth - Direction & DisciplinePs. 23:4-5 - Adulthood - Years of ChallengePs. 23:6 - Years of Maturity - Evaluation, Reorganization, & Preparation

Jesus' return to earth is still future.  There will also be events that happen before He comes again.  There is a "man of lawlessness" or the anti-christ that is mentioned.  He will sit on the temple of God as if he were God.  Daniel 9:23-27 & Matt. 24:15-22 are also discussed.
