Fall 2020 Reading Challenge – 1 & 2 Thessalonians
This fall, we are going to be getting into 1st and 2nd Thessalonians. In these letters, the apostle Paul touches some very serious points which have to do with serving God, how to conduct ourselves, and the Lord’s second coming. In 2nd Thessalonians, the apostle encourages and even corrects the believers in Thessalonica. We hope that everyone will set aside a time each week to read a chapter, either by themselves or with others.
The following is a schedule for our reading this semester:
Week 1: 9/12-9/18: 1 Thess. Chapter 1
Week 2: 9/19-9/25: 1 Thess. Chapter 2
Week 3: 9/26-10/2: 1 Thess. Chapter 3
Week 4: 10/3-10/9: 1 Thess. Chapter 4
Week 5: 10/10-10/16: 1 Thess. Chapter 5
Week 6: 10/17-10/23: 2 Thess. Chapter 1
Week 7: 10/24-10/30: 2 Thess. Chapter 2
Week 8: 10/31-11/6: 2 Thess. Chapter 3
