Week One: Peace Through the Hope of Heaven

In This Season What Brings You Hope?

Hope is not found in our circumstances Hope is found in Christ. 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord JesusChrist!  In his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, -1 Peter 1:3

And into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil  or fade this inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. -1 Peter 1:4-5

We have convinced ourselves that what we have here and now is better.

“We are half-heart creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.  We are far too easily pleased” –C.S. Lewis, “Weight Of Glory“

Worship because we know the end of the story.
