Lesson 18 - 1 and 2 Thessalonians - Part 1

While in Corinth, Paul wrote 2 letters to the church in Thessalonica.  Because he had to leave Thessalonica so suddenly, and flee to Corinth, due to the threatening crowd, he was concerned about the new followers he left behind.  He wrote them letters encouraging them to continue in the church’s faith and steadfastness.  He told them he was proud of them for accepting his message as the very word of God, and encouraged them to continue in faith and service of the living and true God.
