Bible Reading of the Month for May 2026 - 2 Thessalonians 3 NKJV

In 2 Thessalonians 3, Paul steadies a confused church by pointing them to prayer, sound teaching, and faithful living as they await Christ’s return. False ideas about the Second Coming had produced disorder: some stopped working and became busybodies. Paul reminds them of his own example of hard work and gives a clear principle: refusing responsibility is not godliness. He also teaches restorative church discipline: firm boundaries with a goal of repentance, treating the straying believer not as an enemy but as a brother. The chapter ends with comfort: the Lord of peace gives peace, and Christ’s grace remains with his people.Check out our website www.gole.org.uk
