SUSTAINING HOPE

On occasion such as this, we gather as Family & Friends to encourage , enlighten, inspire and to comfort one other through words and deeds.

Sometime we find ourselves searching for the right word, the right way or even the right thing to do just to bring comfort.

But God ....... His Word is always timely

I don’t know what his relationship was with God ............

This represent the beginning point, another phase of life

If in this life only we have hope in Christ , we are of all men most miserable.

Life is like a box of chocolate

Will your life continue to encourage after your physical existence has ceased to be.

THAT’S SUSTAINING HOPE

Now we find comfort in knowing that

-6John 14:1–6

1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in

me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I

have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and

prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself,

that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am

going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are

going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way,

and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through

me.

HEAVEN IS a prepare place for a prepare people

26 “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, 33 this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

PSALM

6 “As for me, I have set my King

on Zion, my holy hill.”

7 I will tell of the decree:

The LORD said to me, “You are my Son;

today I have begotten you.

8 Ask of me,

and the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron

and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;

be warned, O rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear,

and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son,

lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,

for his wrath is quickly kindled.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
