1 ThessaloniansSteve Gregg
In this study of 1 Thessalonians 1-3, Steve Gregg explores the teachings of Paul to the Thessalonians, a group of new converts who faced persecution and temptations. Gregg notes that Paul's instruction to this fledgling community goes beyond what might be expected for new converts, and explores the ways in which Paul encouraged them to maintain holiness and a focus on the hope of Christ's return. Despite facing persecution, the Thessalonians demonstrated strong faith, endurance, and love for one another, providing an example to others.
