Welcome to Hope Talk
Good day and I hope you are well. Much to talk about and to keep focused on as we move through a new way overseen by God. This morning men got together to pray and plead with God that He would grant grace to Hope Chapel as we seek to sacrifice to the Lord. Please continue to pray that God would bring a buyer for this property so we can extend His kingdom here and there according to His will. Thanks.
We will begin studying John 15 this Sunday and it will help us to remind ourselves that Jesus is the “True Vine”, and no one else is, can be, or will be. If we go to some other thing, person, or support besides Jesus, we are destined to a life without the sustenance needed for an abiding and growing life. Only Jesus can give what we need to live a victorious and vital life of witness for His glory. Please read John 15 today, tomorrow, and before you come to church on Sunday asking the Holy Spirit to teach you and lead you into all truth as you ponder what it means in your life that Jesus is True Vine the TRUE Vine, not a substitute or imposter for the True Vine for His children and all who would know Him. Are you being sustained by Christ? Are you being supported by Christ? Are you being satisfied by Christ? Please do not go to the world, or a person, or a position or wealth, fame, or anything for what you can only enjoy in Christ. You will find your life empty and barren. Is Jesus your True Vine?
