It has been said that people can survive forty days without food, go four days without water and four minutes without air, but can't make it four seconds without hope. Hope is necessary for our survival. But hope is only useful if it's attached to something worthwhile.
Key Points:
- Our hope needs to be in God.
- We can’t have misplaced hope.
- Putting your hope in God means you know what he’s like.
- We need to be in community with other believers.
Quote This:
Romans 15:4 (NIV) For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
