‘Jesus Our True Hope’
Dear friends, this
talk is a shortened version of a sermon I gave at the Church where I serve as
Pastor. It was part of a series where I preach through all of the Book of
Romans. The series is called, "Grace Shaped Life"
15 We who are strong have an
obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let
each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For
Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those
who reproached you fell on me.” 4 For whatever was written in
former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through
the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
1. Only the God
who speaks could create a book that can speak instruction and hope to every
people group and every generation.
2. God is the source
of endurance and hope. He gives both by His Holy Spirit, but He uses His word
written as His instrument.
7 Therefore welcome one another as
Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
16 For I
am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to
everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from
faith for faith,[a] as it is written, “The righteous shall
live by faith.”[b]
Footnotes:
4. God of endurance
and encouragement. Please make us disciples of Jesus gripped by the Gospel who
meditate upon Your word written. Please grant us a Jesus centered harmony with
one another which flows into a common praise of the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
5. God of hope,
please make us disciples of Jesus gripped by the Gospel who are filled with joy
and peace in knowing You. Please help us to abound in hope by the power of Your
Holy Spirit.
