11/24 1 Thessalonians 2:1-3
You yourselves know, dear brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not a failure. You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, even though we were surrounded by many who opposed us. So you can see that we were not preaching with any deceit or impure purposes or trickery.
PROCLAIM
Speak the truth boldly in a way that is understandable. Tell everyone about the Good News-that the Lord has intervened in our world and saved us. Jesus was looking for you and now you are found. Jesus is Lord.
