Description

Series Big Idea: The love of God and the life of Jesus brings hope to everyone, regardless of situation and circumstance.

Session 1: “Dealing with Disappointment ”
Big Idea:When things don’t go our way we typically respond with anger, doubt, or some sort of disappointment. During this message we’ll attempt to help people see that even when things don’t go our way, we can remain hopeful. And inside the tension between asking and receiving we can learn some valuable lessons about how life works and the hope Christ brings to us.

Scripture: Luke 1:5-80

Characters: Zechariah & Elizabeth

Session 2: “Unexpected Purpose”

Scripture: Luke 1:26-55

Session 3: “Facing Your Fears”

Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25

CHRISTMAS EVE: “Hope Has Come”


Big Idea: While we are often told not to “get our hopes up”, because of Jesus we can have renewed hope and believe that what He brings to us is far better than we could ever hope for!

Scripture: Luke 2:1-14

Character: Jesus

Session 4: “Hope for Everyone”
