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-Shalom: The Peace Giver
Peace. "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding , will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:8 in the Bible). "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (Words of Jesus found in John 14:27 in the Bible). Peace. Calm. Hope. God.
Jehovah-Shalom: The God of Peace. Sunday, 10-29-06 as we concluded our theme "Name Dropping" we focused on this trait of God in the worship experience. The music, drama, song, multi-media, and the message all moved us to gain an understanding of the peace of God. The survey said, "100% in attendance desired to experience more peace in their lives." God answers the desire for more peace by Jehovah-Shalom. The God of Peace. He will give peace in the midst of choas, crazyness, and everyday life.
This week. Shalom. Peace. Receive it. It is there. Receive it. Just as God called out Gideon we are called out to live and make a difference in life. May we go dropping the name; Jehovah-Shalom.
FYI: Nick's Neighbors on Saturday, 11-4-06. Two week them on "Forgiveness" begins this Sunday, 11-5-06. November and December we experience the "Season of Compassion." Make your payment for the Spirit of Norfolk.
