Speaking of Hope

Matt Oxley
Jesus is speaking hope. Even when things look bleak and dark, Jesus promises hope. 1. Hope is finding beauty in the mess. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 2. Prayer connects our heart with the hope of God. Luke 22:42 If prayer aligns our will with God’s, then our needs change to align with His purpose. Hebrews 12:2 3. Hope leads us in peace. Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God no matter the conflict. Even in our darkest moments of sorrow and weeping Jesus offers peace, joy, hope... Himself. Jesus asks the question: "Do you now believe?"
