Finding - Part 1
Every year, I look forward to Thanksgiving and Black Friday discount shopping. The week before Thanksgiving, I check out ads online to find good deals on items we need and Christmas gifts. Everyone who knows me well knows that I love to use coupons and shop for items on sale. I was excited this year when one of my favorite stores sent me a coupon for an extra 20 percent off.
During the week of Thanksgiving, I anxiously went to that store and picked out a couple of items. When I went to checkout, I was told that the coupon did not work on the items that I was buying. This same scenario happens every year. I will find an extra discount or coupon to use in a store, but when I checkout, there is always a reason that my coupon doesn’t work. We often put our hope in people or things and end up disappointed. Where can we find hope that won’t disappoint?
On Sunday, Pastor Josh said that our hope is found in Jesus. He never waivers. He has always been and always will be who He said He is, the Savior of the world. Pastor Josh mentioned three important points about the hope we have in Christ. 1) Jesus is the basis for our hope. 2) We have blessings because we have real hope. 3) We can be the bearers of hope in a hopeless world.
