To Glorify God in Christ Jesus
By Growing to be HOPEFUL Disciples of Jesus
Hopeful people will put Christ first in their lives, marriages, friendships and relationships
Hopeful people will be concerned about the needs of others and will take seriously Paul’s exhortation to the Galatians to, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (6:2).”
Hopeful people will prioritize prayer as Ephesians 6:18 reminds us, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…”
Hopeful people will seek the lost with the compassion and determination of Christ
Hopeful people will seek God’s power for daily living by being, “filled with the Spirit”(Ephesians 5:18b) which will show in their walk.
Hopeful people seek unity in the church rather than division as they endeavor, “to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,”(Ephesians 4:3) so that their testimony does not suffer.
Hopeful people will make the Bible an essential part of their private and public walk with the Lord by reading and studying it personally and corporately. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.” (Colossians 3:16a)
