HOPE GIVERS AND RECEIVERS!
God
wants us to be both hope givers and hope receivers.
- Romans
15:13 (KJV) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost.
I. We are
saved by hope.
- Romans 8:24
(KJV) For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not
hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
A. We get hope from hearing the Word of God and then acting upon the
Word.
1. We first hear and then hope.
II. Our hope
makes us joyful for what we can have in Christ.
- Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer;
A. Hope then helps us to be patient in trouble, testing and tribulation,
III.
Overflowing hope comes from the Holy Spirit as we live and walk
in the spirit,
- Romans 15:13 (KJV) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the
power of the Holy Ghost.
IV. HOPE
GIVERS. We cannot give people faith but as we share what God has
done for us it gives them hope that what happen to us can happen
to them.
A. Hope is a like a basket that hold faith.
B. Without the basket called hope we cannot hold on to our faith.
1. There are no hopeless situations; there are only people
who have grown hopeless about them.
LET US ALL BE
HOPE BASKETS FOR THE LORD FULL AND RUNNING OVER GIVING HOPE TO
OTHERS SO THAT THEY TOO CAN RECEIVE FROM THE LORD!
God bless you and
yours.
On behalf of this generation,
Your friends in the service of Christ,
