Rev Thomas Martin conducting a short survey on the two epistles of Paul to the Thessalonians. Rev Martin provides a historical background of the church in Thessalonica, explaining how it was founded by Paul and Silas during their missionary journeys. He then highlights the content of the letters, focusing on the themes of commendation, correction, and challenge. Paul commended the Thessalonians for their missionary zeal and their commitment to Christ despite suffering persecution. He then corrected some misunderstandings and rumours surrounding his own character and the future return of Christ. Finally, Rev Matin emphasised the challenges Paul gave to the Thessalonians: to walk worthy of their calling, to love one another, to grow in holiness, and to live with joy and humility, all in light of the second coming of Christ.
