What is Under Your

Tree?

Hope is difficult to EMBRACE in the

MIDST of Suffering

A Gift to Give This

Christmas HOPE

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the

power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope!

(Romans 15:13)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares

the LORD, plans for welfare and not evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11)

Are you overflowing with Hope?

Hope deferred

makes the heart sick…

We tend to put our

FALSE HOPE in things we

can SEE

People Possessions

Power

FALSE HOPE is

rooted in IDOLATRY

REAL HOPE is NOT Seen

REAL HOPE is an imperishable,

undefiled, and unfading GIFT

REAL HOPE is an

ANCHOR for the soul!

He is OUR HOPE and no one else can take

HIS place!

It gives you strength to TRUST in God during

your present sufferings

It allows you PATIENTLY to wait on God’s plan

It provides the CONFIDENCE for the future

What is Under Your

Tree?
