Lesson 10 - Thanksgiving and Prayer

Ongoing problems and questions in the Thessalonian church necessitated Paul’s writing of a second letter soon after the first. While these problems may have persisted, Paul was still very pleased with the growth and progress of the church and encouraged them to do even more. 2 Thessalonians addresses three essential matters:

·     Ongoing persecution.

·     The return of Jesus.

·     The problem of idleness.
