Cross Point Nashville launched the new series Hope Now today.

I can’t imagine a time when the need for hope wasn’t more appropriate.  From job losses, to 401K’s bottoming out, to tornadoes and earthquakes, to sickness and scarcity.  A little bit of hope is welcomed in the midst of some pretty gloomy headlines.

Here are a few quotes from Pete‘s message today:

“Waiting on Hope”

• John 11:1-21, 43-45 – the story of Lazarus
• There is an undeniable relationship between crisis and hope
• Waiting is so hard because we are all “quick-aholics”
• Like Martha in John 11:21, we don’t doubt God’s power, we doubt his timing
• God will allow suffering, pain, and unexpected crisis in order to detach hope from other things and attach it to Himself.
• When you are waiting you are allowing your hope to grow.
• Intimacy with God is forged while we are waiting.
• If you are honest, you don’t really want God.  You want what you think God can give you.
• God wants more than anything else for you to find your hope in him.
• True hope develops when you accept God’s power and timing.

I HOPE you’ll make plans to join us for the rest of the series.

And be sure to invite a friend… to Dickson or to Nashville!
