- Read Acts 17:1-9. How does this account of Paul's time in Thessalonica help you to put Paul's letter into context? What do you think it would have been like to be a Thessalonian Christian?
- How much does Jesus' return feature in your day to day thinking at the moment?
- What will it look like to take seriously both the encouragements and challenges presented through this letter? What's the prayer for your own heart as you begin time in 1 Thessalonians?
