Who’s Your Hope In?

In our latest Sunday podcast, Bill asks do we understand what it is to have real hope in Christ?  Looking at Ephesians 1 we see Paul lay out to the Ephesian church the glorious inheritance, hope and power available to those who’s hearts are enlightened and truly understand who Jesus is. 

So this week take time to spend answering these three questions:  

• What controls you?  Fear or hope. 

• Who’s your hope in?

• Where is your hope placed?

Only when we truly understand who Jesus is through our knowledge, experience and delight, will we be able to navigate our circumstance with hope, love and joy! 

“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.  I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”  Ephesians 1:15-23 NIV

If you missed the message in person this is well worth a listen and I’m sure you will come away encouraged as always.
