Hope is Motivating - PDF

Grace Family Fellowship

This sermon focuses on the theme of supernatural hope found in Jesus Christ. Dr. Smith argues that worldly hope based on material possessions or human relationships is fleeting and unreliable. He uses the story of Peter healing a lame beggar to illustrate this point. Despite lacking money, Peter offers the beggar healing in the name of Jesus, demonstrating that true hope lies in the supernatural power of Christ. This miracle leads to Peter boldly preaching the gospel, even confronting those who crucified Jesus. Dr. Smith emphasizes that true hope is not passive but motivates action, urging Christians to share their faith boldly despite opposition. He reminds listeners that God’s power is available to them and encourages them to live a life defined by supernatural hope, which transcends worldly circumstances and empowers them to impact the world for Christ.
