This past Sunday, 7-20-07, Sunrise hosted another newcomers Luncheon. It was a great time. Meeting new people, hearing stories and watching people connect through common backgrounds and/or common interest. The luncheon also makes us as leaders think through why we believe what we believe and why we do what we do. We have all of this in writing, but really thinking about it leads to some pretty serious introspection. I am glad that we as a church are seeking to live out our core values, mission, beliefs and work to align ourselves with these things we have thought and prayed about in the life of SCC. Makes for a pretty exciting time. People accepting Jesus Christ, growing in Christ and thinking about life and living in general.
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
