Hoping Vs. Wishing 9•1•24

Restoration of Life Through Jesus Christ Ministries

In the sermon titled "Hoping versus Wishing," Apostle Kelley explores the profound differences between hope and wishful thinking, urging believers to hold onto hope when facing significant life changes. Hope, as defined in the sermon, is a confident expectation rooted in God's promises, while wishing is a passive desire without action. Drawing from Revelation 22:13 and Isaiah 41:4, Apostle Kelley emphasizes that God is both the beginning and the end, guiding believers to discern what is worth keeping and what should end. Through the story of a father evaluating his daughter’s potential spouse, Apostle Kelley illustrates the importance of making informed decisions based on the past, using examples like reviewing a credit report or tax returns. The message encourages listeners to avoid dwelling where God was, as seen in Luke 24:1-8, but instead to move forward to where He is actively working. The anatomy of hope is dissected, challenging individuals to assess whether they want to continue in their current reality or if it's time to seek the real essence of hope by asking deeper, trust-oriented questions.
