What is worship? How do you define it? A lot of what is called worship is not. We can learn a lot from the wise men and their call to worship the newborn King.

The Thessalonians believers were confused regarding the 2nd Coming of Christ. Paul says they should have know these things because he taught the. Where and from hat did he teach them?

Paul had to remind these believers they were not in the Day of the Lord because 2 things had to occur first. There would be The Great Apostasy and when this event happened world wide then the man of lawlessness would be revealed. Today we are seeing signs pointing towards a day when the whole world we rebel again God and oppose him, His Truth and His people. This is happening in 2018 in most western countries today where legislation has been passed to remove free speech and freedom of religion. All pointing to the future time where a man would take control of the world and its systems and declare himself to be God and demand worship.

This groups of believers were in confusion concerning the 2nd coming of the Lord. Didn't know what to believe. They had been told they had missed the Rapture and herein the Day of the Lord because of the immense persecution they were going through. Paul had to write to them to correct their thinking. The same sort of confusion over the 2nd Coming remains with believers today. What is right? Differing opinions - how to know the truth?

So often we pray for the wrong things, things concerning ourselves. Paul reveals to these believers in Thessalonica 3 things that he always prays to God for them.
