1Thessalonians1 PT1-Paul's Epistle to Thessalonica

This is the beginning of a study of Paul’s first epistle, the epistle to the Church at Thessalonica. This is the first epistle that Paul ever wrote. Thessalonica was a Roman Colony city, right in the heart of the Roman empire, with a rich, long and varied history. Here Paul had brought the Gospel and now is writing to them concerning their lives as believers who are already suffering for their faith in Jesus Christ. We also look at the faithful companion of Paul, Silvanus or Silas, as he came to be called.
