Participation Hope

May 1, 2016    Pastor Ray Parascando

There’s hope that comes from participating in the plans that God has for us. Hope is a real and tangible need that we have. It’s an emotional need, a practical need, and a spiritual need. From the beginning, God has chosen to partner with mankind. He doesn’t have to, but He chose to.

It’s similar to parents and grandparents with children. Such as when a parent asks their child to take out the garbage or another chore around the house. Obviously, a parent could do it much better and quicker than their child, but they chose to partner with their children to instill responsibility and build something within the character of their child. God in His infinite wisdom has chosen to partner with you. He’s planned us for participation. And it is by participating in what God has planned you for that you can have secure hope.
