Sermon
A Living Hope
Mercy Hill Church - Cincinnati
Speaker: Steve Jones
January 21, 2025 · 41 min
Summary
Through the metaphor of a young child learning to hike with parental support, the sermon explores how Christian identity is rooted in new birth—becoming a new creation in Christ through grace, not personal effort. Believers find living hope in the imperishable gospel and grow into Christ's image through necessary suffering, discovering what it means to follow Jesus out of true identity in Christ through His enabling power.
Highlights
The most important voice is God's voice—what God sees and says about you is what matters most, not what other people say about you.
I have been given new birth. I am a new creation. That's who I am. That's who I am.
The course of your life is set by what you hope in the most. If you change your hopes, you can change everything.
