SERMON NOTES:
You have heard that it was said, we have been born into a living hope.
You have heard that it was said, we have been born into a living hope.
We can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air -- but not a single second without hope.

Discouragement is the anesthetic the devil uses on a person just before he reaches in and carves out his heart. When people lose hope, they lose their ability to dream for the future. Despair replaces joy. Fear replaces faith. Anxiety replaces prayer. Insecurity replaces confidence. Tomorrow’s dreams are replaced by nightmares. It’s a lousy way to live. Howard Hendricks
When you say a situation is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God. Charles L. Allen
The abundant life is one that never ends. The crazy thing is, Jesus is teaching that we don’t have to wait until the end of our physical life to receive it and to enjoy it. Abundant life includes peace, a genuine purpose for living, joy in the face of adversity—including death—without fear, and the ability to endure hardship with confident assurance.
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going to Galilee. There you will see him just as he told you.

I’ve found that if I pray for God to move a mountain, I must be prepared to wake up next to a shovel.
