Matthew 13:18-23

Big Idea: Hope in Christ allows our hearts to hear and understand the gospel message.

Application:  Our work should be one of the heart trying to identify where we are placing their hope. If we begin to examine where our hope lies, then we can begin to see why it is important that it rest completely in Christ. Hope in Christ allows for a present heart, a peaceful heart, and a content heart.  As we get closer to Christmas my prayer is that we might shift our hope back on Christ so that we remember then reason we wait for His return.
