It's Time for Hope

Hope can be a dangerous thing

1 Thessalonians 3: 9-13

1 Thessalonians 3:9–13 NLT

9 How we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy as we enter God’s presence. 10 Night and day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith. 11 May God our Father and our Lord Jesus bring us to you very soon. 12 And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows. 13 May he, as a result, make your hearts strong, blameless, and holy as you stand before God our Father when our Lord Jesus comes again with all his holy people. Amen.

Intro: Shashank dialouge Hope can be a dangerous thing....get busy living or get busy dying.

Hope is dangerous becuase of the possibility of being disappointed.

Hope is necessary becuase without it there is nothing but pain.

Some choose pain over disappointment becuase they have grown used to pain.

Paul
