Finding Confidence & Clarity in the Face of Rumors: 2 Thess 2:1-12 (Part 3) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

Scripture

• 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12

About this sermon

The Thessalonians were distraught from what they had heard and read about the day of the Lord. Paul reviewed two key events that had to be present in the world. Paul had already taught these things to them. That is why he asked them, “Don’t you remember that I told you all these things when I was with you?” Verse five is a reminder of a weakness that many Christians have. We tend to be forgetful and need to be reminded sometimes of truths we have heard but have forgotten. Forgetfulness does happen and that is why it is good to be reminded of Bible truths. It is when we forget about the Lord in our lives we get into major trouble. Unfortunately, there are many Christians that have lost their first love for the Lord and have become backslidden, indifferent, and spiritually cold. God provides cautions for us about the matter of forgetfulness that we need to heed. In this message, we take a good look at the causes and consequences of forgetting the Lord in your life. This message was preached on Sunday morning, July 17, 2022, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
