Pr. Kevin Olson reminded us of the things we can anticipate this season - a genuine hope in Jesus.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" -1 Peter 1:3 

Anticipate Jesus today, because this Child gives hope!

Hope keeps us going, keeps us motivated for the future - Jesus gives us real hope…

…It's a living hope

He is alive - the cross could not hold Him, death could not stop Him, the grave could not contain Him!

…It is an eternal hope

God's eternal hope is a promise, a confident assurance, a reality that is yet to be seen - it’s real, it's safe, it is protected, the inheritance is kept in heaven.

…it is a powerful hope

It is God's power that is guarding us. It is a powerful hope because it is through faith in Him. If it was your faith it wouldn't be very strong. We constantly question and doubt but when we trust in God, well, that is an unshakeable faith. 

…It is a genuine hope

You have to test something to know if it is genuine. Tests reveal to us what is wrong and we need that. God's Word does that for us. When your faith is tested you will come out on the other side with a stronger faith or it will be shown for what is really is. 

Where is your hope? 

Many of you have been hurt, disappointed, and disillusioned but maybe that is because your expectation were on people rather than on Jesus.

He lives and wants to live in you

He is eternal, He is our inheritance

He I the power of God and He can guard what we entrust to Him.

He is the real deal

We would love to pray with you today!
