INTRODUCTION
  • What is something you hoped for as a child that you achieved or acquired as an adult?
  • What is your biggest hope (not spiritual or religious) for someone you love and who you’ve influenced during your life?

We have an amazing God who not only desires to meet us and those we love in the here and now, but who also loves us enough to care about that which is yet to come.  This is where true hope stems from.  We can hope for ourselves, those we love, and even those we don’t yet know.  


STUDY  [tap on scripture to read]

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Hebrews 10:19-22 
  • Using primarily these four verses, who is Jesus, and what did his death and resurrection actually accomplish?
  • What impact do (or should) these facts make on your daily life?

Without Jesus’ death, resurrection, and salvation gifted to and experienced by each of us, we are just lost, ignorant, pitiful people following an archaic religion.  Religion is the last thing Jesus has in store for us.  A relationship that changes us from the inside out, calls us to better, and coaches us how to experience true and lasting life change... that is the life-changing hope found only in Jesus!


HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Hebrews 10:23-25 
  • How do you articulate the hope you have in Jesus to those in your life who don’t know Jesus?
  • When is the time you most experienced Church like it’s described here?
Take a moment and ponder what an amazing gift Jesus gave us when he gave us Church.  One body, coming together for one purpose, to worship one God, and shine His light on one world in desperate need of hope!


APPLICATION
  • What is your biggest goal in spending time with God this week?
  • Who in your life needs to hear about the hope you have and how are you going to speak words of hope to them this week?


PRAYER
Pray that God would remind you of the hope you have in Jesus each day this week and lead you to those who need to hear about true hope.
