Hope & Fears For All The Years 12.15.25 Talk Notes 1 Corinthians 13:13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. Job 8:11-13 Those who forget God have no hope 3 Pictures of Hope: 1. Wishful Hope 2. Expectant Hope 3. Certain Hope Hebrews 6:13-15 (God’s Promises Bring Hope) For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying: “I will certainly bless you, and I will multiply your descendants beyond number.” Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised. Real hope is based on God's word not my wishes. The promises of God help us to see future realities and draw encouragement from them. 10 Thoughts of Hope from the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6) My loving Father will never abandon me God's power is greater than any problem God fits everything into his plan God has a greater purpose for my life God has promised to meet all my needs Jesus died to pay for all that I've done wrong God will settle the score someday Romans 12:9 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. 8. God has promised to help me 1 Corinthians 10:13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 9. Jesus in me is greater than any other power 10. This is not the end of the story Isaiah 43:2-3 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
