As we begin this 7 week series in the book of Colossians, we are going to learn how to Resurrect Hope from our puffed up wreck. The Apostle Paul will teach us how a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ will help us overcome discouragement and despair to live with Hope in a hopeless world.

 

> Be filled with Grace and Peace

• Grace= Charis = Kindness, unmerited Favor of God.
• Peace= Eh-Reh-Neh = which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word shalom = state of being at peace, contentment.
• The first part of the Ancient Secret to recapturing Hope is to be filled with the Grace and Peace of God the Father.

> Be filled with Faith

Paul’s prayer is that we understand the grace of God in truth.

• Understood=epignosis=full knowledge, all you need.
• No secret, unknown knowledge, rituals or initiation

> Be filled with kindness and with Hope
