The church in Corinth was in trouble. They were divided and immature. They abused the sacraments, the spiritual gifts, and each other. Paul's great concern is the reconciliation of these divisions between God's saints, to accomplish this there must be unity in Christ. In 2nd Corinthians, Paul praises the young church for their obedience, generosity, and love, and reassures them of his legitimacy as an apostle.

The Christians in Thessalonica were under fire from all directions. The unbelievers outside were still persecuting them. The unbelievers of the city had come after Paul when he first founded the church in this city (Acts 17:4–5), and they continued to afflict the church. Paul had (1s Thessalonians) and now writes to encourage them about this: the church had to continue growing in faith and love with the hope that Jesus would return.

Matthew's opening verse makes it very clear what this book is about: Jesus, the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham. The rest of this Gospel presents evidence of who Jesus is: God incarnate, the Father's beloved Son, living among men. The king, declaring that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mark records Jesus' life: His miracles, betrayal, death, resurrection, and commission. However, Mark's Gospel is very brief and focuses more on things Jesus did than things Jesus said.

Luke's Gospel is the longest book in the New Testament. Being a detailed historian who researched everything, Luke tells Jesus' story in extensive detail, more than any other Gospel. The purpose of John's Gospel is most profoundly stated in John 20:30-31. This book is meant to awaken faith in unbelievers and to sustain the faith of those who already do believe, calling on all men to focus their eyes on the portrait of Jesus Christ and His saving work

This week we come to the end of the Old Testament. This session will be a rapid conclusion to the Old Testament, as we look at the last 4 books

There are 400 years between the last writings of the Old Testament and the appearance of Christ. This is known as the “Inter-testamental” period. What happened in this time? Was God silent? Was He at work?

Jonah is the most widely known of the Minor Prophets — not only for being swallowed by a fish — but also for being given a message by God and then rebelling against the idea of delivering it. Micah — In a land where the judges accept bribes, rulers oppress the poor, prophets lead the people astray and the priests are easily bought, a just God demands justice. The picture of sin and judgment is dark. Is there mercy and forgiveness with this avenging God? Micah closes his book with words that leave no doubt in our minds that there is.

Nahum -- Nineveh, the great city of the Assyrians, is under judgement. With Jonah, there was a chance to repent. Now the time for repentance is over. God is good and compassionate (Nah 1:7, Jon 4:2), but He will not leave the guilty unpunished (Nah 1:3). Nahum is sent to reveal Nineveh's future: utter desolation. Habakkuk -- The people of Judah have grown wicked, violent, and corrupt. There is no justice in the land that is supposed to be known by God's name. “Surely, God, you will set things right?”, Habakkuk pleads. God answers, but not in the way Habakkuk expects.

Hosea: The problem was that Israel did not know their God (Hosea 4:1) and so God tells a man named Hosea to marry a prostitute. Hosea marries her but she leaves him and commits adultery. Joel: When God was delivering Israel from slavery in Egypt, He sent a plague of locusts on the Egyptians' crops. Hundreds of years later, He is judging His people with the same kind of plague for straying from Him.

Amos goes to Bethel — a royal city of idol worship — where two great sins were being committed by Israel; compromised, corrupt worship, and the resultant abuse of power. He makes two bold prophecies: King Jeroboam II will die and Israel will be carried off into exile. The book of Obadiah is one brief chapter, one prophetic word regarding the nearby nation of Edom. And it's not good news for Edom

Ezekiel is the most overtly and deliberately structured of the Major Prophets. The book as a whole is organised around the fulcrum of the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., with chapters 1–25 preceding its fall, and chapters 33–48 following.

The book of Daniel is what is known as Apocalyptic genre. It's an unveiling of what is going on behind the scenes in the spiritual world, especially concerning is the future and how world events are going to play out. It is important to know what apocalyptic genre is and to recognise it, otherwise you will read the book of Daniel and Revelation in a literalistic way.

“How could this happen?” How could Jerusalem fall to the Babylonians? Five poems from the prophet Jeremiah mourning the fall of Jerusalem.

God promised to exile His people from their land if they turned from Him, and now Jerusalem's time has come. The people worshiped other gods, perverted justice in the land, and ignored His laws. As a result the Babylonians will destroy the city, raze the holy temple, leaving a heap of ashes and ruins as they carry the Jews away. But even as the Lord plans Jerusalem's destruction, He sends his people the Prophet Jeremiah to warn, challenge, and comfort them.

When God had a message for the people, He spoke to them through prophets: men moved by the Holy Spirit to speak on God's behalf. Isaiah is the first of the Major Prophets. No other prophet is referenced in the New Testament as much as Isaiah who preaches of the coming King who will rule Israel and the nations in justice and peace. God's judgment is coming, but so is a special Servant of God: one who will fulfil all Israel's duties and bear their sins.

Song of Solomon is an extended poem about the goodness and the delighting in love, sex, and marriage. God approves of sex. He invented it. And He did not do so as an afterthought, or postscript, or footnote. This book helps us understand why the preeminent human relationship is that of husband and wife.

The book of Proverbs is a collection of various books of aphorisms, general truths. In the book, two different kinds of women are giving invitations: One is Lady Wisdom, a noble lady presenting wisdom, justice, and righteousness. The other is Dame Folly, enticing the simple. The difference in the nature of these invitations sets up the conflict that is pervasive throughout the entire book of Proverbs—the conflict between wisdom and folly as they relate to every imaginable detail of life.

He is righteous, he is rich, he has a big & happy family. Yet Satan attacks this righteous man named Job, and Job and his friends argue about why terrible things are happening to him. This book serves as an example of how no one is immune to suffering. Even more, we see God's creative power, wisdom, and authority. Because God made the universe, we can trust that He knows how to rule it.

The sun rises, sets, and rises again. Rivers flow, but never empty. Information multiplies, but the mind is never satisfied. So in the never-ending cycles of life, what can man do? It looks meaningless. Life is like vapour, like the wind. Trying to understand everything, comprehend everything, trying to plan and execute your plans is like trying to shepherd the wind. And the more the Preacher learns about the world, the more depressing a world it becomes (Ecclesiastes 1:18). So he explores this problem.
