Overflowing Hope

This sermon explores the concept of a "living hope" that doesn't fade, contrasting it with the shaky, temporary hopes we often place in worldly things. Drawing from Romans 15:13, Pastor Bernard emphasizes that God is the source and author of all true hope, and through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are filled with joy and peace that overflow into abundant hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. The message challenges Christians to be a people of hope who demonstrate their faith through action, even in difficult circumstances like grief and loss. The sermon concludes with a powerful sports analogy, reminding believers that they are on the winning team. Christians fight from victory, not toward it.
