Sermon

Christian hope is grounded in Jesus, via what He has done on the Cross.

Romans 15:13
The Spirit within us overflows to other people.
We are influencing them with hope.
He fills us with hope.
Scripture fills us with hope.

Whatever our circumstances are, Jesus can give us hope.
If we only see the sinfulness and brokeness of the world, there is no hope.
But if you see what God has done through Jesus - there is great hope; one that has a firm foundation.
God is a God of hope.

1 Timothy 6:17 - 19
Don't put your hope in wealth. That would be a false hope.
Be ready to give a reason for your hope.
Wealth is uncertain.

Matthew 6:20

To unleash God given hope.
We must learn not to put our hope in wealth. The foundation of our hope is Jesus and His sacrifice for us.
