We all love to hear that we are doing a good job. It is encouraging, and it tells us that we are usually heading in the right direction. The church at Thessalonica was doing fantastic work for God, and the Apostle Paul was very grateful for their faithfulness.

But there was a reason they were doing great. The same reason they were doing great, we can be doing great. First and Second Thessalonians are two great books that will challenge our character and integrity and remind us of what is coming up in the end of times.
