3. When we are born again, that hope now lives in us.
4. Hope is our anchor.
5. God has given us a hope beyond this world...the greatest motivation possible.
C. Christmas story is abundant with hope, there was a promise given and they believed...
1. Mary and Joseph had a hope in the promise of the Messiah.
2. The shepherds had to believe the message of the angels.
3. Anna and Simeon awaited the promise of the Messiah.
4. The wise men traveled miles following the star with the hope of finding the King!
D. Where do you find your hope and where do you need to build hope?

2. Are there those who need to see, hear, and believe in your hope?
3. Have you been placing your hope in the things around you?
4. Do you need to get back to God promises and remember, He has a plan for you?
