Lord, Save Me!

Sermon Title from Sunday: “Hosanna, In the Highest: Hope”

At Christ Fellowship we started the Advent Season and sermon series called “Hosanna In the Highest.”

Hosanna means save us we pray.

Okay - so we took communion and there is a section of scripture that I always read before I take communion: Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He has inaugurated for us, through the curtain (that is, His flesh); and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. Let us hold on to the confession of our HOPE without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:19-23)

The passage of scripture that the message was based on was Psalm 118. (Check it out)

One of my pastors made the point that we have three ways to hope in God: hope in His character, hope in His works and hope in the coming One of God. (Jesus)

JESUS is our SALVATION and our ONLY HOPE.

I have never read my ‘communion passage’ when the word hope sticks out so much. So after asking the question: where is my hope? I read v 23 that says (in case you forgot): Let us hold on the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Sunday was my connection point.

I Praise You, Lord. Save Me.
