"To hope."
Elpis (el-PEECE)
"To hope."
The certainty of hope:
• God will still be God no matter how they turn out.
• God will still be God no matter how they turn out.
1. Know you’re called by name, not your pain
He calls you precious, loved, chosen, daughter, and His.
2. Hear the voice that knows your name
Mary is crying because she cannot find Jesus while Jesus is standing right in front of her.
There will be seasons when you cannot recognize God by what you see, but that is when you have to know Him well enough to recognize what you hear.
The voices we hear:
• Fear
• Comparison
• Your past
• Culture
• Social media
• Other people's expectations
• Our own insecurity

What Fear Says:
“What if.”
“What if.”
If you listen to fear long enough, eventually fear stops sounding like a possibility and starts sounding like a prophecy.
Hope gave her something to say.
3. Give hope a voice
There comes a point when hope has to find its way out of your heart and into your mouth.
I can expect God‘s goodness even before everything around me changes.
Know. Hear. Speak.
• Know who you belong to.
• Know what He calls you.
• Learn the voice of your Shepherd
• Give Hope a voice
• Know who you belong to.
• Know what He calls you.
• Learn the voice of your Shepherd
