The word “withdraw” often sounds harsh, but in 2 Thessalonians 3:6–18 Paul shows that biblical discipline is firm without being cruel. In this closing section of the letter, Paul commands the church to withdraw from disorderly brethren, especially those who refuse to work and reject apostolic teaching. At the same time, he insists that such discipline be carried out with love, patience, and the goal of restoration. This lesson walks carefully through Paul’s command, his own example of hard work, the proper way to practice discipline, and his final prayer for peace and grace. What emerges is a powerful picture of courageous obedience, balanced with compassion and trust in the Lord of peace.

Lazarus and the rich man.

Paul’s letter to Philemon may be short, but it is one of the clearest pictures of Christianity lived out in real life. A runaway slave, a wounded master, a chained apostle, and a quiet but powerful God all meet in this tender letter. As Paul sends Onesimus back to Philemon, he shows how the gospel transforms relationships, calls for real repentance, and demands real forgiveness. This study walks through the letter step by step and reveals Christ at the center, standing between the sinner and the one who was wronged, saying, “Put that on my account.” Philemon shows us how grace works when faith meets hurt, and how love can do what law alone never could.

What really happened in the “war in heaven” of Revelation 12? Was this a literal battle in the sky, or is John showing us something deeper? In this study, we slow down and walk through Revelation 12 verse by verse. We look at Michael, the dragon, the casting down of Satan, and what Christ’s victory truly means. This is not fantasy imagery pulled from poetry or movies. It is powerful symbolic language explaining a spiritual reality that comforts suffering Christians. You’ll see why Satan is called the accuser, what it means that he lost his place in heaven, and how believers overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. We also explore the dragon’s rage, his limited power, God’s protection of His people, and why persecution does not mean defeat. So what does this mean for you today? It means you are not fighting for victory, but from victory. The verdict is already in. The dragon lost. Let’s explore this together and see why Revelation 12 is meant to strengthen faith, not create fear.
