Seeing with the Eyes of Faith: Hope

Psalm 39.7 (NIV)      "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
 
LPCC is moving into a season of discernment this fall.  Discernment is to discover and test how we might live into God’s will for us being aware of our present unique and
wonderful gifts, as well as our challenges and opportunities.  During this time together, we will sort, distinguish, evaluate, and acknowledge who God is and what we will do in response to what God hopes for us.  It takes us being soft, malleable and open to what the Holy Spirit does in our lives.
 
As part of this process, we will have many opportunities to reflect together trusting that God is guiding us.  We will have moments of engagement and sharing of what we are discovering during worship and throughout the week.   We will have opportunities to
respond to scriptures, questions, thoughts, and challenges. 
 
The first sermon series frames how we see with eyes of faith.   The first topic is hope and where we place it.   Do we trust God or ourselves?  Hope is found in the confidence and courage to first trust the future to God's faithfulness to fulfill God's promises and not in only our abilities or resources.
 
Here are some questions to consider꞉
-Where has God been faithful in your life?
-In what things do you find hope?
-How does hope help you in your life?
 
Let’s gather together this Sunday and discern together and see with the eyes of faith.
Grace and peace,
Rev. Brian
