Engaging Sermon: A powerful message from Pastor Jason on Restoring Hope.
A bible definition of Hope
" A favorable and confident expectation. It describes the happy anticipation of good."
"Lord's desire is to restore hope in the heart's of everyone."
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
"Our God is the God of hope. There is always hope found in God."
Grace and Faith go hand in hand.
Before we have faith, we must have hope.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8
Faith can be a gift from God.
Grace: Unmerited favor of God.
"Faith is the hand that reaches out and takes what God has provided for through Grace.
16 "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be." Romans 4:16-17
Abraham's Life
Abraham Believed God
God promised Abraham a child.
God made Sarah and Abraham's bodies come to live to bring forth the promise of a child, which was Isaac.
GOD BRINGS LIFE TO THINGS THAT ARE DEAD!
THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR OUR GOD!
GOD IS GREATER THAN ANYTHING THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY FACE IN OUR LIFE.
Believe what God Says! Take him at His word. God Cannot Lie. When God says He will do it! He will do it!
Even if we lose faith in man, we should never lose faith in God.
Are you just existing?
God can put life back into your life. God wants us to thrive.
Ezekiel 37:1-14
Your circumstance needs to hear the word of God. Speak what God says about your situation into your situation.
The lord tells the prophet what to speak into the dry bones in the valley. As the prophet spoke what the Lord told him to do, to the bones there was a noise and bones and flesh came together. Breathe was spoke into their bodies as God commanded the prophet to speak and those bodies had life.
The devil will lace our mouths with negativity. Speaking negatively makes things worse. The words that we speak often times comes from our heart, but more often it affects our hearts. So we need to be careful with how we speak.
When God saw it was dark when creating the Earth, he commanded there be light. If God would have said, "Man, it is dark in here." It probably would have gotten darker. God spoke exactly what was needed, not what he saw.
"GOD WANTS TO BRING LIFE INTO YOUR DEAD SITUATIONS! IF THERE IS BREATH THERE IS HOPE!"
