HOPE FOR HOPEFUL HEARTS!
Special Speaker Matt Myers

John 14:1 (NIV)
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."

With GOD'S HOPE, we no longer have to live with TROUBLED HEARTS.

When it really comes down to it...WHERE DO YOU PLACE YOUR HOPE?

REASONS WE CAN HAVE HOPE

1. The best is YET TO COME.
John 14:2 (NIV)
"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you."

2. We are CHILDREN OF THE KING.

John 14:7, 18 (NIV)
"If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him...I will not leave you as orphans."

3. God is CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
John 14:16-17a (NIV)
"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth."

4. We have joined a TRUE LOVING FAMILY.
John 14:23 (NIV)
"Jesus replied, 'If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'"

5. We have the gift of GOD'S PEACE.
John 14:27 (NIV)
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

6. God is AVAILABLE 24/7.
John 14:13-14(NIV)
"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
