Advent 20/20 - Refocusing Our Hope Pt. 2 - Hope Grows

Reflection

• In episode 3 of our Advent podcast we're going to identify several ways we can grow in hope. What are some practical ways you can think of that will help you gain a clearer vision of the future promised to us, so that it affects your present walk with Jesus?

• Remember: our working definition of hope is "The present life lived remembering God’s faithful past, with confidence in God’s promised future.

• Pastor Brent opened up with a story about his son watching Iron Man for the first time. Is it hard for you to remember the end of the story as you journey through life's trials? Why or why not?

• Can you think of someone who has lost hope, and perhaps their faith, in Christ because of trials? How would you encourage them with the truth of Romans 8:18-32 in order to help them?

Prayer

Pray for the person(s) you've listed above asking God to give you an opportunity to share the truth of His hope with them this season.
