Daniel Englehart:

Daniel takes us through Colossians 1:1-14. Here we see the Apostle Paul teach that the faith and love the Colossians have is “because of the hope reserved for you in Heaven.” We all are in need of hope.  What we place our hope in affects how we live and relate to others.  From this text we will see the fruit of hope and the root of hope.

 

  1. The Need for Hope
  2. The Fruit of Hope
  3. The Root of Hope
Calvin McCutchen:

Calvin takes us through Psalm 27 we will examine how we are prone to build strongholds apart from God. When these strongholds inevitably fail, we are often left wandering in the wilderness. God pursues us in the wilderness, using it as an arena for spiritual growth, pointing us to Jesus as the better stronghold.
