That Which We Have Seen
In this sermon, Shane Dirks encourages the church to reflect on the hope, faith, and assurance found in Jesus Christ. Drawing on Scripture, the message points listeners to God’s faithfulness, the certainty of His promises, and the way Christian hope shapes how believers live in the present. Shane highlights how trusting God’s character anchors believers through uncertainty and calls the church to live with confidence, obedience, and encouragement toward one another as followers of Jesus.5 Questions to Think About 1. What does biblical hope look like in your everyday life, especially during challenging seasons? 2. How do God’s promises shape the way you respond to uncertainty or fear? 3. In what ways are you actively trusting God rather than relying on your own understanding? 4. How can you encourage others in their faith using the hope you have in Christ? 5. What practical step can you take this week to live more confidently as a follower of Jesus?3 Things to Take Away from the Message 1. Christian hope is grounded in God’s character, not in changing circumstances. 2. Faith calls for active trust—living in obedience even when outcomes are unclear. 3. Believers are meant to encourage one another, pointing each other back to Jesus and His promises.
