The Thessalonians were converted idol worshippers who suffered persecution for their acceptance of Jesus. This set an example for all the churches to follow, including us today.

Great study! Another point that stood out to me in the beginning verses was the fact that Paul, Silas and Timothy were praying for them always and that is exactly what we as Christians should be doing daily. Praying for other Christians to stand strong in their faith and be able to spread the Word of God and fight off evil.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
