Just because Paul visited a city, preached the gospel for weeks or even months, and founded a church by guiding converts to the faith, this did not protect the new church from scheming heretics. In fact, the immaturity of any new church presented a perfect target for those who meant to mislead and distort the truth. Paul, worried about his friends and their troubles with false teachers, wrote this second letter to the believers at Thessalonica in the hope of encouraging their young but burgeoning faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; 2 Thessalonians 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Why was Paul thankful for these people? <br>2. How do we encourage each other without getting arrogant? <br>3.
