I.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WHAT EXACTLY IS HOPE? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hope is one of those (quests<\/strong><\/span>) we all experience as humans, and it may be the most formative one. It forms our (thoughts<\/strong><\/span>) and even our (hearts<\/strong><\/span>). The thing we place our hope in will influence the way we (interpret and respond<\/strong><\/span>) to life.<\/p>\n

True statement: if our hope is not connected to (forever<\/strong><\/span>), our hope will somehow (die<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II.\u00a0\u00a0 HOW DOES HOPE AFFECT OUR FUTURE? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For hope to be hope, it must carry with the promise that all which is broken will be repaired, and that it will remain repaired forever.<\/p>\n

How are faith and hope intertwined?<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith enables us to face the (fact of death<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith lives in this world with an (eye to the sky<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith and hope see the (promise of heaven<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith and hope see the (values of heaven<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith and hope receive the (approval of God<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith and hope will (bring us home<\/strong><\/span>) at last.<\/p>\n
