HANG IN THERE - From Hope to Life - a blogpost for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church on Sept. 4, 2016)

So what happens when you get to the top of the ladder.  What happens once you have hope?  What happens when you know that everything will be alright in light of the glory of God?  No thing can come upon us that impacts God's glory.  I can fall, fail, suffer, succumb, die, deteriorate, waste away, or wake up in glory, and the glory of God is unchanged.

Hope offers freedom to those who are chained to a reality that will never turn out as bright as we would like.  Hope offers assurance beyond the unimaginable situations we find ourselves in.  Hope offers not a way out but a way through our painful lives.

Hope opens the door to life.  Once we realize this life cannot steal what God has given, we are free to live this life with hope.

Hang in there.  Hope.  Live!
