Secrets Of Hope - 1-22-2017
Series: X-Factors
Message: Secrets Of Hope
1. God wants you to KNOW JESUS. (1 Timothy 2:3-6) (NIV) 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
(Romans 3:23) (NLT) For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
(Romans 6:23)(NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Ephesians 2:8-9)(NLT) 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
(John 3:16)(NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
(Romans 10:9)(NLT) If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)(NLT) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
(1 John 5:13)(NLT) I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.
2. God wants CLOSE FELLOWSHIP with you.
(Genesis 6:9)(NLT) This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God.
(James 4:7-8) (NLT) 7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
3. God wants to MEET with you.
(Exodus 33:7, 11) (NLT) 7Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 11The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp…”
(Psalm 42:1) “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you my God.”
4. God wants to WALK with you.
(Genesis 5:24)(NIV) Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
(Matthew 11:29)(The Message) Jesus said, “Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.”
5. God wants to do GREAT THINGS through you.
(Genesis 17:1-6) (ESV) 1When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, 2that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” 3Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, 4“Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. 5No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6I will make you exceedingly fruitful,
(John 10:10)(NIV) Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest.”
(John 15:5) (NIV) Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
