2nd Thessalonians 3:1-2
Well, if you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 3. We are in a study of the Book of 1st Thessalonians and 2nd Thessalonians. We're getting toward the, the end. And we talked about the man of sin that 2nd Thessalonians talks about and the difficulties that the people in Thessalonica were experiencing.
