The Source of Expectation is God (4 of 8)
Series: The X Factor
Frank Damazio
Introduction: The prayer given us in Romans 15:13 is addressed to the God of hope. There can be no true well founded, far reaching hope which is not fixed on the God of hope, on his providential power and rule, on His gracious purposes, on His trustworthy, never changing, never failing promises. Our God inspires our expectations, He rewards expectations, He is the God who supplies our heart and life with overflow of expectations. Today, now, is your time to put your hope in the God who can fulfill your expectations.
