Paul's Letters to the Thessalonians_02 - Imitating Examples

1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 -- Not everyone learns the same. Some learn best when they are given verbal instruction, others need to be shown what to do. Because of this Paul will use both methods in teaching the young congregation in Thessalonica. In the beginning of this first letter, Paul will hold himself and his companions up as examples of Christian conduct for the Thessalonians to imitate. He will then turn around and hold the Thessalonians up as an example that we should imitate today.
