Because we were created to belong, the Bible says we will either belong to this world or to Him.

God created man with the need for companionship, the need to belong to another like himself. Our souls long for belonging.

The Bible uses many metaphors to describe the church – the Bride of Christ, the family of God, the household of faith, a holy temple, and the body of Christ. Each description carries a deeper understanding of what the church is and does.

Like a pride of lions, our souls long to belong, to live in community with others, to experience relationship. Belonging is one of the Big Five in our God Hunt this week.

Do you have a living hope? My concern is that many believers today just have a “doctrinal” hope or “religious” hope. Living hope is produced from a new life.

Waiting can drain the hope right out of you. Our souls hunt for God in the waiting room of life. Where is He?

What is the source of your hope? Your hope will only last as long as the object in which you place it.

When we are connected to the source of hope, Jesus Christ, we can sing the song of hope! What tune are you singing?

When you and I connect with the source of hope, we can sing the song of hope

This week in our God Hunt we will discover the only source of hope that can sustain us in life and enable us to turn hopeless situations into hope-filled ones!
