TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-3
This is the first lesson in a verse-by-verse study of the Thessalonian letters. This lesson examines the first 3 verses of chapter one of 1 Thessalonians and analyzes the “work of faith,” “labor of love,” and “steadfastness of hope” found within the Thessalonian church in spite of the fact that they had all been converted under less than ideal circumstances. What lessons can we learn from them?
