From the Pulpit...

A new expository sermon series in 2 Thessalonians begins with this message introducing the city of Thessalonica, its people, Paul's second missionary journey and the church plant that happened there, and the trying circumstances that the young church faced in its first years of existence. The apostle explains his obligation to thank God for what happened there with the Thessalonians growing in faith and love. Paul had taught them and prayed that they would increase in those characteristics, and they did. They are a great model for any church today.
