The prophet grapples with the “mysteries of Providence,” and the age-old dilemma of reconciling the presence of evil with the existence of a good and all-powerful God. This is called “theodicy,” the “vindication of the justice and goodness of God in spite of the existence of evil in the world” (Webster’s Dictionary). Habakkuk clearly declares that the ultimate resolution of the dilemma is found only by a living faith (Hab 2:4) in a loving God (Hab 3:13).

This book contains the notes from the Orange County, California Bible conference held in August 2010.

1 Thessalonians #12

1 Thessalonians #12

God the Father made us qualified to share in the Inheritance of Jesus Christ; Common thread throughout 1 Thessalonians: Jesus Christ is coming back! 5 Crowns(stephanos) are offered to believer as an incentive to press on to spiritual maturity: 1) Crown of Joy; 1Th 2:19; Phi 4:1; 2) Imperishable Crown; 1Cor 9:24-27; 3) Crown of Life; Jam 1:12; Rev 2:10; Eph 1:3; Joh 10:10; 4) Crown of Righteousness; 2Ti 4:6-8; 5) Crown of Glory; 1Pe 5:1; often called the 'minister's crown'; but ALL of believers have a ministry that they can be faithful to! Crowns are a part of inheritance; Rom 8:14-17; If you want to be a joint-heir; you are going to suffer; Mat 25:14-30

Scripture References: Ephesians 1:3, 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Revelation 2:10, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, James 1:12, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, Philippians 4:1, Matthew 25:14-30, Romans 8:14-17, John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:1

From Series: "1st Thessalonians - 2006"

The Thessalonians were persecuted for their faith. Paul's first letter to them provides comfort, reminding them of the details of Christ's return for His Church ("The Blessed Hope") and providing practical spiritual lessons for living.
