Within a year Paul hears about some issues affecting the believes at Thessalonica. Because of his great love for them he sends another letter instructing them concerning the issues they were facing. As Paul addresses these issues what can we learn about the church established in Thessalonica.

                         C. Accountability

II. Paul’s Salutation 1:1,2
