Thank you, John.

Thank you Sunday, aren't you thankful for that?

As he said it is finished.

The father took him.

Put him in a grave.

Three days later he rose again to give us hope.

That's what we're talkin about today.

Went to talk about whole.

But before we go there, let's pray and ask God's blessing on each and every one here.

God's blessing.

For the people in Ukraine who are going through some struggles.

These days, father, we come before you today.

We thank you for the hope that you give us.

We thank you for the direction of peace and happiness that we can have.

Father, if anyone here this morning does not know you as their lord and savior May today be the day where they say.

Yes to you.

Father.

We ask that you open heart.

You open minds to your word that you guys and director and father at each and every day we strive to do what you've called us to do.

We pray for the people in Ukraine.

We ask your blessing upon them.

We ask that this war going on over there will cease and father that they can begin to rebuild their lives and rebuild their families.

We pray for those who are administering over there to the to the masses, those who are reaching out to the refugees and and all those around father.

We just pray that you would Supply, the needs that are required to take care of those.

We know that you're in control.

We don't always understand how that works.

Totally but father, we know that nothing takes you by surprise.

This morning help us to lay our burdens at your feet.

Help us the walking away from here knowing that you've got it.

And when Jesus name we pray.

Amen, numbers, 13, Romans 15:13.

This past jet.

We're going to read today.

is a prayer that Paul the Apostle Paul pray for the Christians in Rome.

It's often used in churches a day as a closing benediction.

I think it's a powerful symbol.

The powerful statement about what God can do in the heart.

And in the mind of every Christian, if you're here today and I'll Christ as your lord and savior and by that, I don't mean just mean having a head knowledge, you know that if you were to die today that you would spend eternity with God in heaven forever and ever.

That's the hope that we have.

If you don't know that you can have that.

Hope you just need to say yes to Jesus.

Many people would say well, how do I know until I die?

And I get there whether I I have arrived or not.

Well, don't wait till then to figure it out trust and have all but let's read this passage and Romans 15:13.

Now may the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace and believing that you may abound in, Hope by the power.

Of the Holy Spirit.

The Apostle Paul is making this request of the god of Hope.

What a wonderful name.

Not just God, but the god of hope, there's many other names of our God that we can throw out there.

But this God of Hope is something that the world needs today.

A man, something.

We need to trust then a beautiful name.

That is there.

He is.

The only lasting source of hope that we have for meaning in this life or even.

For the life beyond death, cuz here's what we need to understand each and every one of us will spend eternity somewhere.

If there's a heaven, there has to be a hell, if there's a hell, there has to be a heaven for.

So for people to say, well, I don't believe in heaven or hell, then then we need to change.

some of the words that we use, Not nobody in this service is always the people in the early service that I have to share with you about because we have heard people.

Tell others where they could go.

We've heard that.

Have we not?

If there is no hell, why do we tell people to go there?

What's the purpose of that is just a foolish jesterina, fuel foolish talking.

It just showing our our hatred if you will towards those around us, but now we share that because here we are.

We have a fear that there might be.

I've heard many people say, well, if I'm going to hell.

I want that.

That's where I want to go, cuz that's where all my friends are going to be.

There are no friendships in Hell.

There are no friendships.

You want.

No company.

Nothing going on when you're not feeling.

Well, when you're very, very sick or very much in pain.

You don't want other people around.

You want to be all alone.

Usually.

So we need to understand that the hope that God gives us is the Hope in this life and in the life to come with him because in Hell, there is no hope.

The story of the rich man and Lazarus in the hell.

The rich man in the Bible, says the rich man died, and he went to his own place called meaning.

Heli what the Hades and then he'll he lifted up his eyes and said, send ladders.

He didn't go there, because he was rich.

He went there because he had no hope he didn't believe in God, the Creator.

He didn't believe in Jesus Christ.

He didn't believe in in the story of Resurrection in Repentance.

He lifted up his eyes and he asked that Lazarus, the one the beggar that he wanted away from his house and want anybody to see this beggar at the gates of espoused, get him out of here, but now and he'll send us so we can go to my brothers and tell them.

The story says that well, why would they believe Lazarus with?

If he raised from the dead when they didn't believe in Jesus, when he rose from the dead?

True story.

It's understanding what God has in-store.

So Paul is asking here in verse 13.

He's asking that the god of Hope, fill these, believe it with all joy and all peace, but there's two more words that go along with that.

What is in believing now?

May the god of Hope.

Fill you with all joy and peace in believing?

We cannot ask God to fill us with joy.

Peace.

If we don't believe what's the purpose.

What are we asking?
