Sermon Notes Hope is a powerful force and probably the most important factor when it comes to overcoming life’s biggest challenges. Without it, everything is lost. But it’s that little spark that eventually pulls you and others from the depths of despair. Hope has the power to make you do the impossible.

SERMON NOTES Your understanding of who you are positions you for success or failure, more than any other thing. You will never rise above the image you have of yourself in your heart. True Identity allows you to see yourself bigger than your problems. Paul uses the phrase IN HIM OR IN CHRIST THIS IS HOW GOD VIEWS YOU, NOT ON YOUR MERIT BUT ON HIS MERIT.
