If you will, I’d like for you to assist me with my Sunday School lesson prep. I have a question I am contemplating asking my class about Colossians 1:23.
Colossians 1: (New American Standard Bible)
23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

What causes people to move away from the hope of the Gospel?
In what circumstances do you feel most vulnerable and are tempted to lose hope?
Do you think verse 24 gives the nutshell answer and if so what do you perceive that answer to be?
Colossians 1: (New American Standard Bible)
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions.
