Overview

Thessalonica was a city of size and influence. It appears to have been a very busy, prosperous, and diverse area—the perfect place for the message of God's Grace through His Son Jesus to take root and spread, but also a place where it would meet significant resistance. Thessalonica was a tough place for new followers of Christ to grow up in their faith.

Have you ever thought of the Apostle Paul as a concerned parent? Paul's letters to the church in Thessalonica are full of parental affection and advice. Once can't help but be touched by his strong desire to be with his new converts—to protect, guide, prepare, and comfort them. David Faust leads us through an inspiring study of 1 & 2 Thessalonians. We'll learn just how much the Apostle Paul wanted to make sure how much this young church received the proper spiritual nourishment: he wanted them to possess that unquenchable faith that, even today, we are encouraged to thirst for.
