Free Bible Study Guide: Third “word” – Hope

The Mission: All Things Possible with God.
A Guide to explore and express Words
that are the foundations of our faith.
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible.


Please consider the word Hope.
Jeremiah is sometimes called the “weeping prophet”.
When he warned the people of his nation to turn
from their idol worship, back to the living God,
eventually, he had to witness the destruction
of his beloved city and nation.
Yet, in the midst of his pain, in the book of Lamentations 3:24,
he expresses hope,
something that, to non-believers, may seem incomprehensible,
even foolish…

Jesus came to our world of toil and strife
to be God’s awesome gift of hope to us.
He was ridiculed, and persecuted,
and died on a cross for us.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son to condemn the world,
but to save the world through Him.”
– John 3:16-17

Jesus is God’s most loving message hope.
Through Him, we can know the love of God forever.
