Our purpose is to please God, not people. 1 Thessalonians chapter 2.

Paul’s experience at Philippi did not make him less bold in preaching the gospel at Thessalonica. When God wants us to do something He will always give us the courage to overcome any obstacles that seem to lie in our path 2:2

Accept anointed preaching as the Word of God and it will continue to work in you as you believe. This is also true as we read the Bible, believe that God is speaking to you, come with expectancy and do what God is telling you 2:13

Their faith in Jesus Christ had also brought the Thessalonians trouble and persecution. Paul’s encouragement was to remind them that what was true of Jewish believers including himself and his team will be true for everyone who follows Christ 2:14

His fellow Thessalonian believers were to Paul his joy and crown he was expecting to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ together with those who had become followers of Jesus themselves through Paul’s ministry. What a glorious thought that those who led us to Jesus, we ourselves, and those who we have been able to help because of Jesus love shown through us will all stand together and receive the victors crown 2:19-20

memory verse

You accepted what we said as the very word of God which of course. it was. And this Word continues to work in you who believe. 1Thessalonians 2:13 N.L.T. emphasis mine.
