The Pastor’s Ministry

The Thessalonian revival gave birth to a thriving local church. In chapter 2 of his first Thessalonian letter, the apostle Paul reviewed what his ministry had been like in those brief but dramatic days. When he did this, he left an enduring description of what faithful pastoral ministry looks like.
