As We Begin the 2015 Season of Advent
The Staff, The Leaders and Volunteers of Faith Fellowship
Wish YOU and YOURS the Most Blessed of Christmas Celebrations!
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of
the darkness.”
Desmond Tutu
The Living Christ is the source of our new birth and our
Living Hope. If you have a Living Hope in the Living Christ you can deal with
your past pain and present difficulties because of your future blessings and
Soon Coming Hope of Heaven!
1 Peter 1: 3-6 – As the weary world moves…we can REJOICE because He came to
give us HOPE! Hope gives
us confidence and lets us live with inner strength for we know that one day we
will be radically different than we are now!
The Birth of
Jesus, His Life and Death and Resurrection give us 3 kinds
of HOPE…
1.
A LIVING HOPE - John 1:1 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
overcome it!
We LIVE
because HE came…Lived, Died and lives forever!
2.
A FUTURE HOPE - This is our story as believers. Through
Jesus Christ, we have gone from having
nothing to having
everything: new
life, new hope, and an eternal inheritance
in heaven
that nothing can destroy. Being co-heirs with
Jesus
Christ means we have an inheritance reserved or
kept
in heaven (Gal.
5:5) that's beyond anything we can
imagine (1 Cor. 2:9-10). Jesus said, “I am
going to prepare
a
place for you.” What a place heaven will be. What a time
that
will be! That calls for praise on our part, doesn't it?
3.
A PRESENT HOPE - we are kept by the power of God. It’s
not us
holding on to Him. It’s Him holding on to us! Romans 8: 37-38 We are MORE than conquerors!
Nothing can separate us from His Love!
