1 Thessalonians 1 · Grade 3

Turned to God

Name Date

Read the Story

The letter opens with three names: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. They wrote to the church of the Thessalonians. They always thanked God for these believers in their prayers.

They remembered the believers' faith. They remembered their love. They remembered their hope in Jesus. The good news came to them with power and the Holy Spirit. They had trouble, but they still had joy.

These believers became an example to others far away. The word of the Lord spread from them to many places. People told how they left idols to serve the real God who lives. They waited for Jesus, God's Son, to come from heaven.

Memory Verse

“For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not say anything.”

1 Thessalonians 1:8 (WEB)
