Stand Firm
6 EPISODES
Thessaloniki was a young church in need of a lot of encouragement. Paul was with them for a relatively short time, but the gospel made huge impacts on them. So he writes this letter now to encourage them: you started really well in the gospel, you imitated us, now you must continue on in the gospel you first heard.
