Advent: Hope

Written By Bryson Jackson

  1. Take a few moments to read 2 Samuel 22:47-51, Psalm 117, Deuteronomy 32:39-43, and Isaiah 11:1-11 together. Why does Paul quote all 4 of these passages in Romans 15?

  2. Read Genesis 12:1-3 (Abrahamic Covenant) and Galatians 3:7-9. How does Paul see the promise to the patriarchs fulfilled in Christ in Romans 15:8-9?

  3. Read Romans 15:4. Why should these truths and passages of Scripture produce hope in our hearts?

  4. If hope is confident expectation, (definition from Jeremy) what are you tempted to hope in over the Gospel work of Christ?

  5. How does altering our hope alter our view of our lives and purposes?
