26 April 2020 – The Goal of hope – Pastor Paul

1 Peter 1:3-13, 20-21
“The Goal of hope – the return of Jesus that puts all things into perspective”

1. Jesus’ return is the goal to look towards in the journey of life, that puts everything in true perspective. 
2. Making Jesus’ future physical return our goal releases indescribable joy in us now because of being in his loving presence already.
3. What God is doing now – is testing and growing our faith and hope in Jesus’ return.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION IN FAMILIES OR ONLINE GROUPS:

1. How does looking forward to the second coming of Christ give perspective for your life in the present? 
2. How has God strengthened your faith through allowing testing trials in your life? 
3. How does preparing our minds for action, and being sober-minded, help us to set our hope fully on the grace that will be brought to us at the revelation of Jesus Christ (v13)?
