To paraphrase C.S Lewis, ‘we are all hope based creatures’. For all of us, our outlook on life heavily depends on where we put our hope. Do we put our hope in material things thinking that they will fulfill us? In this sermon Daniel reminds us that the lack of feeling fulfilled in this life is because we were created for something better. We were created to finally be fulfilled when we meet our God and Savior face to face, when we finally seat in eternity, at the table that He has prepared for us.

Do you often feel anxious, worrying about the future, not able to have peace and rest because you often give in to fear? This is a common human experience, yet the most common command in the bible is, ‘ do not fear’. In this sermon, Daniel reminds us that God know’s what it’s like to be human. He understands our worries and fears, and so He calls us to put our trust in Him because He is a good God who is with us in every circumstance.

Giving thanks is a foundational attitude of being a Christian. Our gracious Father is worthy of receiving our thanks for all He has done and continues to do for us. In this sermon Daniel gives us some practical ways in which we can incorporate thanksgiving into our lives.
