Hope Lives: Pastor Kit
 
By Rick Olmstead

Take Your Church on a Journey of Restoration

Hope lives, and that hope is personified in Jesus Christ. We can offer that hope to our world but we are also to help relieve the pain and suffering so prevalent in our world. So take your small group go on a journey with us. A journey into the heart of Jesus. A journey that transforms hearts. A journey in which the words of God are proclaimed and the works of God are done. A journey of restoration.

Hope Lives, a five week series, is more than a group Bible study and devotional experience because it encourages your church to take this heart-changing information and apply it. The Pastor Kit includes the Hope Lives book, Pastor Guide, Sermon Clips DVD and Tools for the Pastor CD-ROM. Each week's sermon correlates with one week's readings in Hope Lives.

To truly build a churchwide response to poverty, do more than just deliver these sermons: Encourage every single person in your congregation to be reading Hope Lives with you during the five weeks. The book will take your entire congregation on a heart-transforming journey. Your church will never be the same.

Sermon Topics:
Message 1: Freeing the Hope Within You
Message 2: For Such a Time as This
Message 3: Breaking the Spirit of Poverty
Message 4: Following in Nehemiah's Footsteps
