HOPE
“Response to Hope”
5th in a Series
Teaching Pastor Barry Wingfield
A believer’s response to the resurrection HOPE found in Christ is worship and the making and teaching of other worshippers.
Matt 28:16-20 : “they worshipped”; Jesus gave the great commission
Mark 16:15-20: Jesus gave the great commission, the apostles followed it
Luke 24:45-52: Jesus commissions them as his witnesses; they worshipped and continually praised God
Acts 1: Reaffirms the witness commission, tells of their obedience.
Notice the two aspects of this RESPONSE:
It is both spontaneous and intentional.

Notice the two aspects of this RESPONSE:
It is both spontaneous and intentional.
Our spontaneous RESPONSE to the hope we have been given in Christ is motivated by (or comes from) faith in the resurrection, love for God, and joy in salvation.
Our intentional RESPONSE to the hope we have been given in Christ is expressed in obedient and holy living, love for others, and sharing the good news with others.
And it's all WORSHIP!
