Positive Expectations

In our relationship with Christ, hope is a primary element that gives us confidence and boldness as we come to understand that Jesus is hope. In our relationship with others, hope helps to fill the need to press on. When hope is missing, worry often sets in and brings deep discouragement. A practical application of hope in our lives is seen in maintaining a future focus, looking for the possibilities that tomorrow brings.
​
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, as you trust in Him.”
Romans 15:13a

Growing in Love

This discussion starter has the seed of Hope as it’s theme, with a brief story related to the seed. It is a half sheet (5.5″ wide by 8.5″ tall) printed on both sides.

This can be used as an ongoing reminder of the seed after a complete study of the 12 Seeds book. Distribute any way you wish: as a bulletin insert, study sheet for a class or discussion group, handout when visiting people, etc. There’s room at the bottom of the second side to add your own notes.

Printing suggestions: Growing in Love comes front and back side-by-side on a full sheet. We recommend printing out on an 8.5″ x 11″ full sheet, then printing the front and back again on the other side of the paper. Split the sheet in two to yield two double-sided half sheets.
