Hopelessness is a common thread in so many of the problems in our world
Surely if the church has any words for our world, they are words of hope
You don’t have to do this on your own
It doesn’t matter if you’re the best or the worst, or somewhere in the “boring” middle. You are loved. You are forgiven. You are offered life
Everytime we live and share God’s love with those around us we live and share God’s Word of Hope
Eat Well
Rhythm Kids
Community BBQ
Sharing ourselves, living God’s love
Every time we pray for someone
Every time we offer our Blessing and invite God’s
Mary – most blessed among women
Teenage Pregnancy
Refugee
Yet, she had the most precious thing of all – God’s blessing
And the hope of Advent is that the same blessing is offered to us
These words of hope are for us
Paul – in a way the fledgling Christian church is like Mary, still growing into their identity, vulnerable, yet hopeful, still finding their place in the world
And like Mary, these words of hope transform them
God’s grace, given to us in Christ Jesus
We lack in no spiritual gift
Just as Jesus is God’s Word of Hope for all of the world, we are God’s words of Hope to everyone we meet
