Start2Finish Bible Studies #42

Faith that stands firm. Hope that never fades. Love that never quits.

Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians pulse with encouragement for weary believers. Written to a young church facing persecution and confusion, they remind Christians that faith must keep working, love must keep growing, and hope must keep looking ahead. Jesus is coming—and until he does, his people must live ready, steady, and strong. From the first word of thanksgiving to the final call to endurance, 1–2 Thessalonians reveal a portrait of steadfast faith anchored in grace.

1–2 Thessalonians from Start2Finish is a 13-lesson journey through Paul’s earliest letters and will help Bible classes or small groups live faithfully between the “already” of salvation and the “not yet” of Christ’s return. In the process, vital truths such as holy living, hope in sorrow, and the power of grace-fueled endurance will be affirmed.
