A Better Way - 1 Peter 4:1-11

How do we keep hopeful in the midst of troubles?  Is mustering hope good enough?  What does Biblical Hope look like and how is it different than our popular vision of Hope?

Can we still Hope? - Jeremiah 33:14-18

Hosea 11:1-9 
1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him, 
 and out of Egypt I called my son. 
2 But the more they were called, 
 the more they went away from me.[a] 
They sacrificed to the Baals 
 and they burned incense to images. 
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, 
 taking them by the arms; 
but they did not realize 
 it was I who healed them. 
4 I led them with cords of human kindness, 
 with ties of love. 
To them I was like one who lifts 
 a little child to the cheek, 
 and I bent down to feed them. 
 
5 “Will they not return to Egypt 
 and will not Assyria rule over them 
 because they refuse to repent? 
6 A sword will flash in their cities; 
 it will devour their false prophets 
 and put an end to their plans. 
7 My people are determined to turn from me. 
 Even though they call me God Most High, 
 I will by no means exalt them. 
 
8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim? 
 How can I hand you over, Israel? 
How can I treat you like Admah? 
 How can I make you like Zeboyim? 
My heart is changed within me; 
 all my compassion is aroused. 
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger, 
 nor will I devastate Ephraim again. 
For I am God, and not a man— 
 the Holy One among you. 
 I will not come against their cities.

How God Loves You (Hosea 11:1-9)

If You Are Happy and You Know It -  2 Samuel 5:1-5; 6:1-5; Psalm 150

Ruth 1:1-17 
1 In the days when the judges ruled,[a] there was a famine in the land. So a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. 2 The man’s name was Elimelek, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there. 
 
3 Now Elimelek, Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband. 
6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there. 7 With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah. 
 
8 Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you, to your mother’s home. May the Lord show you kindness, as you have shown kindness to your dead husbands and to me. 9 May the Lord grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband.” 
 
Then she kissed them goodbye and they wept aloud 10 and said to her, “We will go back with you to your people.” 
 
11 But Naomi said, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands? 12 Return home, my daughters; I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me—even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons— 13 would you wait until they grew up? Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters. It is more bitter for me than for you, because the Lord’s hand has turned against me!” 
 
14 At this they wept aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her. 
 
15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.” 
 
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.”

The Ten Commandments and the Shema help us orient our lives around God first.

God First - Deuteronomy 5:1-21; 6:4-9

Genesis 18:1-15 
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. 
 
3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord,[a] do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” 
 
“Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” 
 
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs[b] of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.” 
 
7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. 
 
9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. 
 
“There, in the tent,” he said. 
 
10 Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” 
 
Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?” 
 
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” 
 
15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” 
But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.” 
 
Genesis 21:1-7 
21 Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac[a] to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 
 
6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 7 And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

Genesis 18:1-15
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
