Sermon Outline

BEFORE THE RAPTURE COMES

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3

As we continue working through 2 Thessalonians - I want to share with you some sobering truths that can help us live ready for the next great event on God’s prophetic calendar - the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.


Many true Christians will become lukewarm

● Revelation 3:15-16





False Christians will rebel against God’s truth

● 1 Timothy 4:1





Application:


Will you live for Jesus when it gets hard?





Will you be faithful even unto death?
