è The Person of Hope …. 1 Peter 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”;

Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”;

Jeremiah 29:1 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

è The Power of Hope:

• Keep reaching

• Never fails; LOVE sustains Hope!

è The Process of Hope

• Testing (Romans 5:1-5)

• Hebrews 6:19 – Reaches Heaven

è The Product of True Sustained Hope: eventual, inevitable manifestation (sight) (1 Corinthians 15)

• Sin’s power, flesh’s operation, satan’s agenda and work, death’s sentence …. All defeated through Christ and His resurrection!

• The BLESSED HOPE of REUNION!

• Recognizable, functional, embraceable
