Romans: Rooted in Jesus - God of Hope

In our text Sunday, the Apostle Paul is leading us to his benediction in Romans 15:13, Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. The opening words, God of hope, might confuse us: Is God the author of hope or the object of our hope? The preceding text answers that question, saying in essence, welcome each other regardless of ethnic differences because Christ served both Jew and Gentile. For the Jew, He kept God’s promises, while for the Gentiles, He showed God’s mercy by making them family. Clearly, God is the object of our hope!

Join us Sunday as we worship God, the object of our hope!
