The Gift Of Hope

September 18, 2022 Speaker: Darren McCormick Series: Hope Happens Here

Topic: Hope Scripture: Jeremiah 29:1–14

Jeremiah 29:11
~Many Christians see this as a "feel good" verse.
---However, this verse was written to others...not to us today.
~Many people, Christians included, read the Bible selectively.
---This is wrong...& crazy.

Jeremiah 29:1-14
~These verses were directed to the Israelites.
~This was not written as a promise to everyone throughout time.
~These verses pointed to the real hope the people needed.
~God's real prophets speak the truth that God wants to say whether the people wanted to hear it or not.
~Too many people will also take 29:11 as prosperity promises.
---God's plans for making people rich involve heavenly & spiritual ways.
~God doesn't want us burdened with hopelessness.
---This is another reason we were given Jesus & the Holy Spirit.
---Too many people are looking for hope in all the wrong places.
~Hope happens here not because of us, but because of God.
---...because God is a promise maker & a promise keeper.
~God gives hope when we accept a relationship with Him.
---That is our choice.
