Notes
“Where Hope is Found”
2 Timothy 1:2
Unstoppable hope comes from:
1. Living out of the grace of God
- Receiving grace from God
- Giving grace to others
- Learning to breathe God’s grace
2. Being wrecked by the mercy of God
- Realizing the heinousness of our sin
- Grasping the magnitude of God’s love
3. Walking in the peace of God
- Peace is obtained through Christ’s death on the cross
- Peace is maintained through prayer and surrender
Grace, mercy and peace become ours at the cross.
