Fall ‘23 Bible Study - Thessalonians

This fall our Bible study will read First and Second Thessalonians. We will unpack the content of these letters with a particular focus on understanding how these letters are similar and how they differ. We will explore how we read our Bibles when the Bible seems to disagree with itself and learn more about Paul and the early Christian movement along the way.
