Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b

For SCC - Jehovah-Nissi: The Victor
On Sunday, 10-22-06 we continued our series titled "Name Dropping." We looked at Jehovah-Nissi: The Victor (The Lord is my Banner). Jon Trude, who sings in GLARE and serves as a Worship Leader/Lay Pastor while out to sea in the Coast Guard, shared with us some victories while recently out to sea. The song "In Me" which was presented unplugged by GLARE was powerful. You and I have the victory because of "Christ In Me." We tasted victory as we took communion. Thank God for victory. This week may we live in victory. Speak words of victory and hope to family members and fellow employees. Speak and listen to God (prayer) with expectation. Invite others into victory as you share your story in conversations. During dinner this week with your family share how God is moving and working in your family. Feel free to share the good, the bad and the ugly. God brings victory in all of life.
Remember the poll question, "Do you like to win?" The poll answer, "100% in attendance answered yes." Obstacles will come your way as you seek to flesh out God's call in your life. Seek to develop a plan, find supportive people and experience a win as you rely upon God. Jehovah-Nissi.
May we as a Christ Community help others enter into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and become totally committed follwers of Christ. May we help people overcome the agony of defeat and celebrate with them the thrill of victory.
Next week. Jehovah-Shalom: The Peace Giver.
FYI: Nov. 4th Nick's Neighbors at Point Harbor Church. Make your payment for the night out on the Spirit of Norfolk. In Nov. and Dec. we will flesh out compassion during the "Season of Compassion."
