1 Th 2:10-3:13

• apart in person, but not in thought (v17);
• stopped by Satan
• what could it be? Illness? Weather? Financial? (probably some opposition-- distress, persecution 2:7)
  
• sometimes Gods stops us from doing things, too. What's the difference?
• sent Timothy to them instead, and he came back with good news (vv2&6);
• faith, love, and prayers;
  
• destined for trials (v3);
• Paul's worry -> unsettled by trials (v3); Timothy's good news -> stood firm in the Lord;
• love to increase and overflow!
