“Just as you were called to one hope”
What is this hope we’ve been called to?
Are we all called to the same hope?
What do we hope for?
What do you hope for?
Think of 1 big thing you are hoping for
Thomas’ cry is not unlike all of us - and not just believers, but all people.
I don’t know where to go!
I don’t know what to do!
[PAYOFF] - Is there any hope???...
Jesus is the hope
This month, we are studying hope.
The world needs hope.
It looks for hope in many places.
It will not find hope, outside of Jesus.
Hope in Christ
Phil
We lose hope, because we are hoping for less “straining” and less “pressing”… aren’t we???
Hope is in the pressing!
Col 1:9
The pressing, the straining is where his strength comes in.
This is where we grow with Him.
[DISCLAIMER] - No, it’s not all supposed to be hard.
He’s not tearing us down… But, who ever said it was supposed to be easy?
The truth is...
This world is broken, and we are broken with it...
But the “easy yoke” is learning to trust on a new system = Him.
You can choose to see the future however you want:
You can choose to see the future however you want:
Your fears,
Your own expectations,
Or, hope...
Framed by the Word and promises of God.
Framed by your relationship with Him
Framed by the relationships He’s formed on your journey
[QUESTION] - But, is this hope only for the next life?...
[PAYOFF] - He is the hope for ALL that is in front of us!
[PAYOFF] - If those hopes are plans and desires He’s put in you, then those are Him!
That’s part of hope in Christ!
Eternity is now!
HOPE is for NOW!
Not simply Heaven (if that’s not enough…)
Hope is for HERE and NOW, a full life HERE and NOW!
Hope is the way through it!
The Spirit of God works in us to align our hearts with His Will!
Our prayers become His prayers
Our hopes become the things He’s promised
And when weak, we get assistance - He causes everything to work together!
[PAYOFF] - No matter how things may look, we have hope that His plan is at work!
He never fails!
Is your challenge bigger than God? Certainly not!
- “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
[TRANSITION] - I want to tell you a story about a man Jesus gave hope to...
The New International Version.

Hope is in us to share!
John 5:
Think of this man’s despair...
38 years, same thing
No one to help
Everyone going before him
Did he have no family or friends to help him?
Jesus showed this man, there is a true source of life - Himself!
Do you know that we are that for the world around us?
We, now, bare this message of hope.
Hope is in us to share!
2 Corinthians
New creation, the new is here!
Reconciled to himself
He has commited to us the message of reconciliation!
[PAYOFF] - It’s unfair to receive freely this reconciliation - which came to us in Christ, through someone else - and not honor the responsibility He’s placed on us to share this message of hope with other in our lives.
