Junior / Adult — Week 21

Hope
Faith and Expectation in the Lord

Hope in the Lord
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

This lesson explores how biblical faith and hope are woven together[cite: 37, 38]. While the world places its hope in temporal things like luck, jobs, or wealth, true Christian hope is looking forward with quiet assurance, anchored in the character and promises of Almighty God who cannot fail[cite: 37].

Prayer for Hope:
Almighty, Sovereign God, in You alone we place our faith, trust, and hope[cite: 37]. Teach us to love Your ways, keep Your truth in our hearts, and walk faithfully under the guidance of Your indwelling Spirit[cite: 37].

GOD Bless You All. : )[cite: 37]
