Paul wrote two letters to the new Christians in Thessalonica to help them keep the faith, remain holy, and weather the persecution from those around them. They had a strong start spiritually and Paul wanted them to continue that way. He also wanted to keep teaching them by letter if not in person. Most importantly, he wanted them to continue living for Christ while looking for His return at the same time. I Thessalonians 1-4:1-18 Contains 8 lessons.
