Exploring First Thessalonians Pt. 3

Chapter 3 of the book of 1 Thessalonians sees Paul express his initial fears for the church and then his joy and relief that they were still standing strong even after his abrupt departure. He was like a father worried about the well-being of his child who is away from home and facing a wicked and uncertain world. The chapter can be broken into three broad themes which we examine in this study.
