From Us and For Us

February 04, 2024 | Mike Stancak

Paul is about to bring home his admonition of the church in Thessalonica, but before he does he stops to share his desires.  He desires prayer from them, and he desires many things for them.  This is a moment to see the heart of the apostle, reflecting the heart of God for his Church.
