Hope is the reason we wait for anything. I wait for the doctor because I hope he or she will be able to heal me. I wait in traffic because I hope to go home. Believers do not have their full glory yet. They hope they will see it when they are redeemed. They are assured they will see it when they are redeemed. But they still hope. We always have hope until we see what God has for us. That is redemption: to be all that God intended.
Our purpose is to give God glory. Sin has damaged our glorified condition. God so loved us that He gave His Son to restore that pre-fallen glory. His salvation is more than a trip to heaven. It is His Kingdom come upon this earth. (Read Romans 8:29-30)

A Mother's Treasure
The Bible tells us to honor our mothers all the days of our lives. That's what this message is all about.
No Longer Slaves
We are not slaves to our God. We can choose to be His slaves but He doesn't treat us or call us slaves. He has adopted us so that we have a new Father, a new name and a new home.
When Fear Meets Great Joy
We can only imagine what the disciples went through after the death of Jesus. They had a crisis because there didn't seem to be any hope. Believing in the resurrection was so hard for them because they knew Jesus was dead. Then, He appears. The fear left them and joy invaded. That's what we are supposed to take away from Easter. Meeting the resurrected joy should make our fear disappear to be replaced with great joy.
The Priority of Christ
Have you ever noticed a driver texting while he or she is driving? Most of us have. Many of these texters know that it isn't safe but they are distracted by a text they have gotten and feel the need to give an immediate response. That's how many crashes happen.
Have you ever noticed a believer not doing what he or she is supposed to do even though they know better. Most of us have. That's how a lot of life crashes happen.
This message speaks of keeping our focus on the most important things. If we do, there will be a lot less crashes.

Led by the Spirit
God's great plans for each of us. We learn those plans by walking in the Spirit. We are led by the Holy Spirit to the plans that God has for us. But how does that happen? How does the Holy Spirit lead?

The Way of Abundant Life
The flesh can never give us abundant life though it promises to give us the best life now. The Spirit gives us abundant life though the world continues to give Him bad publicity. The flesh will always work against the Sprit will never satisfy the flesh. Isn't it amazing that people would rather have temporary happiness than eternal joy?
