death is a tragedy which often leaves us with immense pain. knowing that the moment someone dies they are forever gone in this life. there is no bringing them back. the lines of fellowship are broken and can never be restored. the harsh reality of death has crippled the lives of many due to the pain it brings. in 1 Thessalonians 4 God tells us that he doesn't want us to be ignorant of death because such ignorance will inevitably lead to overwhelming sorrow. in this message we examine this amazing passage. we see there is a time and place for sorrow, things people are ignorant of concerning death, the order and manner of the resurrection and the power this knowledge brings to the Child of God living in hope.
