A Song of Hope
We have incredible past promises for deliverance
We have a glorious future of joy
We have present proof of its certainty

Beyond fear of loss to new life
Beyond ourselves, so stand firm and wait

When we bring our insufficiencies to Jesus, he magnifies them for kingdom ministry.
Look where he does this..
Look what he uses.
Look who he uses.
Look what he does.

How to Treat a Treasure
Treasure is revealed in our anguish
Treasure is prioritized in our praying
Treasure is magnified in our dedicating to God

Renewal must move beyond sentiment to action

Renewal must rest on perpetual judgment

Obey - What God tells you to do

· Delayed obedience is disobedience
God uses the imperfect to accomplish his perfect plan
