This Sunday we finish up chapter 2 of 1 Thessalonians. Paul is going to continue to explain that the message he preaches is entirely from God. He has no desire to please man, but to please God. And one of his motivations is that he loves them deeply and he wants the best for them.

" For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you? For you are our glory and joy." - 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 (ESV)
