Welcome to Hope Presbyterian Church!
We encourage parents to worship together with their children, as they too are members of God’s covenant family. We ask the rest of Hope family to be patient and “let the little children come” to Jesus (Mt. 19:14).
sermon notes
As Jesus predicts the fall of Jerusalem, He lovingly prepares His disciples by warning them of pretenders and persecutions and then calls them to perseverance.
I. Pretenders
II. Persecutions
III. Perseverance
Reflection GROUPS - 12:15PM
Reflection Questions (Applying the Gospel to Our Lives):
1. Why do people naturally seek security in earthly institutions, buildings, and accomplishments rather than in Christ?
2. Who are the false teachers/messiahs who are leading people astray? What is the attraction in them?
3. How can suffering and persecution tempt believers to fall away?
4. How does God's preserving grace encourage believers facing trials? How does the promise of Christ's return strengthen perseverance?
5. How should the certainty of Christ's return shape the priorities of your life and ministry?
6. Pray asking the Father to help Hopers to have a persevering faith in Christ Jesus.
Response Song
He Will Hold Me Fast
Verse 1
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold;
He must hold me fast.
Chorus
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.
Verse 2
Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost;
His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.
Verse 3
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied;
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!
