As we continue learning the biblical origin and present application of Hope Church’s values, our third value is God’s peace. When we receive God’s presence and guidance in every area of our lives, we also receive God’s peace. Jesus told us that God’s peace differs from the world’s peace. How does it? And how can each of us and all of us experience it for the first time or to a greater degree?

As we continue looking at Hope’s values, our second value is God’s Guidance. When we seek, live in, and desire God’s Presence, we will also get all of God’s Guidance…in every area of life. Living in the Presence of God is like having a GPS for every relationship, project, decision, culture, and area of your life. God wants to lead and direct us because He is our gracious and loving King. And He will lead us if we let him! But, be aware the destination God has for us as He leads may not always be the one we would choose for ourselves, but His Ways are always ultimately better than our ways.
This month our group discussions, kids’ curriculum and Sunday messages will focus on our 3 core values: God’s Presence, God’s Guidance & God’s Peace. We begin this Sunday 2/6 by observing how Moses discovered that God’s presence is God’s greatest gift to God’s children. In God’s presence, we are most like who we were created to be, most empowered to carry out God’s plans for our lives, and most capable of bringing glory to Him! In this message, we consider how to avail ourselves of God’s presence personally and corporately.
