Hope-Fully 2 - Experiencing Hope (Roots and Anchors)

BIG IDEA: Experiencing Hope comes from knowing our confidence in Christ holds true over the surface of our circumstances.

Ephesians 3:14-21

TWO CONCEPTS: ROOTS AND ANCHORS.

REDWOODS- Who are you CONNECTED with and to?

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.

The outcome of being rooted is loving like Christ: We TRANSFORM into HIS
LIKENESS.

Isaiah 40:31

1 John 3:3

Two OT words for hope used

Hebrews 6:19-20

● Trials will EXAGGERATE what is already there.

“The sun that hardens the clay also melts the wax.” - Spurgeon

People are not made in trials, they are REVEALED.

Hope exists where there was PREPARATION.

● HOPE is never as far as it seems.

● HOLD ON through the storm.

RESPONSE:
When the surface of your life seems to be in turmoil, REMEMBER WHERE YOUR HOPE COMES FROM.

Hebrews 11:1

Plus Ultra - There is more.

Do we live a life understanding that “THERE IS MORE?”

Romans 15:13
