Lesson Preview
We introduced our new unit of study - Consider Where You Are Going - last week. The first lesson answered the question "What is your goal in life?" This week, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 will aid us in our discussion of "What Hope Do You Have?"
Speaking of hope, have you considered the fragility of hope? When a person is in a desperate situation, he/she sometimes loses hope. On the other hand, when facing a positive setting, it often infuses a person with hope. So, what is it that causes situations to be hopeful or hopeless? Let's get personal: What causes us to have hope in a seemingly hopeless situation? Perhaps the answer can be illustrated in a true Cardinals' fan. There is always hope until the last at-bat of the game is complete. (As Ginger likes to say, "We're not winning yet.")

We'll look at Thessalonians Sunday and see what perspective Paul takes on the subject.
