What is Hope?

1 Corinthians 13:13

- Love is the most important. If we go in that order, last to first, that would mean that

hope is the second most important. And we see that this is true because faith is

“The substance of things hoped for.” (Heb. 11:1)

- Hope: a confident, joyful expectation, and a positive imagination

- An example of the power of imagination:

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that

every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

(Genesis 6:5, KJV)

- In the NT whenever positive, godly imagination is referenced, it’s reference as

hope.

- Example: If I’m expecting apple pie when I get home from work, I’ll be imagining it all day

long

- Reality: If your expectation is in the promises of God, you’ll be imagining your

life lived in those promises!

Hope, a positive imagination, paves the road for faith to do its work. Then faith acts

on the imagination and brings that imagination of the future into present day

reality. Hope is that which frames your life!

Imagine what the outcome of the call of God is. Begin to see what He sees, and see

the result of your labor, in your job, in your family, in your church, in your friends, in

your town. You are called and invited to be with Him. Walk in that calling, and

imagine the result of it.

Pastor Jeremy shares as part of a new series, Mastering The Silence, on Wednesday in Glendive.

Eph 6:13-17

Ignorance & Victory are not roomies

● Hosea 4:6a My people are destroyed for lack of

knowledge.

● Isaiah 5:13a Therefore my people have gone into

captivity, Because they have no knowledge;

● Ignorance will not keep you from being destroyed

or taken captive.

Knowledge for the Win

● Luke 4:1-14

● The devil was trying to get Jesus to question who

he was.

● Jesus responded with his knowledge of the Word

of God. He was wearing his armor of biblical

knowledge.

● John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the

truth shall make you free.”

○ The depth, height, length, & width of what

we know of the Word of God will determine

the depth, height, length, and width of our

freedom.

○ Small amount of biblical knowledge...small

amount of freedom.

○ The more you know...the more victory you

walk in.

○ You are only one revelation away from

victory in your life.

○ The degree of victory we experience in life

will be in direct proportion to the amount of

Bible knowledge that we possess and use

properly.

There are some great combinations in this world.

● PB&J

● French fries & Milkshake

● Apples & Cinnamon

● Land activities on a ship floating around a tropical

environment during the winter months.

Eph 3:1-7 Gentiles & Jews being united in one body, the

body of Christ...a great combination.

● This is a game changing revelation that the Holy

Spirit labored to get across to the church starting

in Acts 10.

● Acts 15 we see conflict over this new great combo

of jew and gentile.

● Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith

in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were

baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is

neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor

free, there is neither male nor female; for you are

all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s,

then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according

to the promise.

● Eph 3:14-21 A prayer to assist us to walk in

love...to live out this great combination.
