    We all need encouragement

    Paul described his work among the Thessalonians as, "encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives worthy of God" (2:12).

After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more
