The God of Hope
We Hope Because Death is Not the End
We Hope Because He Works in Us
We Hope Because of Our Guarantee
We Hope Because It Won’t Disappoint

What God’s Kindness Does for Us
What We Are to Do with God’s Kindness

What Is Patience?
God’s Patience Towards Us
Why is God so patient with us?
- So That Satan Might Not Sift Us When We Fail
- So There’s No Distance Between Us and Him When We Fail
- So That Our Failures Aren’t the Final Word
- So That Our Failures Won’t Disqualify Us
- So That Our Failures Will Lead Us to Repentance
Our Patience Towards Each Other

God’s Version of Peace
Romans 5:1-2: Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Colossians 3:14-15 But above all these put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body; and be thankful.

1. Joy comes from pressing through chaos into a place of protection and revelation. 2. True joy is found when one moves from difficulty (waters of chaos) into the security of God's presence. 3. The emotional part of joy, on our part is the celebration of reaching the destination of God’s presence.

1. Love comes from the Father 2. The Love in us must be revealed to us and to others 3. Love helps us deal with crisis 4. The opposite of Love is NOT hate, but fear 5. Love starts internally and ends externally

Jesus does not want you left without the Holy Spirit – John 14:26
We are not to serve the Father without the Holy Spirit – Luke 24:49
Jesus prayed for the Holy Spirit to come – John 14:16
We must not talk wrongly about Him – Matthew 12:31-32
Jesus sends and we receive the Holy Spirit – John 20:21-23
If we live by the Spirit, we will bear “fruit” of the Spirit - Galatians 5:22-23 AMP
There is true freedom in the Spirit of the Lord - 2 Corinthians 3:17 AMP

The Lord listens and hears the prayers of sinners that genuinely and sincerely seek Him (Psalms 51:1 – Have mercy on me God). The Lord listens to Prayers of Repentance coming from the heart that confesses and repents (Romans 10:9 – If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart…). The Lord listens to Prayers of those that humbly request that He will reveal Himself to them (James 5:16 – Prayers of the Righteous…).

Live your life in a way that proves repentance and seek God’s purpose for your life.

We must accept Jesus’ terms of surrender

How does living in Christ change our mindset?

King Jesus You are:
omniscient - therefore, I can call upon you for wisdom in every circumstance I face
omnipotent - therefore, I can truly do all things through Christ who strengthens me
omnipresent - therefore, I am never alone no matter the situation
omnibenevolent - therefore, I am constantly receiving your generosity and favor every day and all day.
