The Blueprint

Are you tired of the status quo? Do you desire change? Are you longing for something more? Hope is an intense, earnest expectation of something good. It’s a dream, a pictured goal, a vision, a blueprint for what could be. But desire alone isn’t enough. At some point, what you hope for must move you to action. The proof of desire is pursuit. If you really want it, are you willing to go after it?

Notes

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

II Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

James 1:2-3

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

• Are you tired of the status quo?

• Do you want change? 

• Are you longing for an adventure? 

• What do you desire? 

• What are you expecting?

• What are you hoping for? 

• Hope it’s an intense, earnest expectation of something good, a dream, a pictured goal, a vision, a blueprint

• For a structure or edifice, faith is the substance or the undergirding material, the foundation 

• For a journey, faith is the pursuit of hope. 

• The proof of desire is pursuit

• Walking by faith is the pursuit of hope. 

• Faith without action is useless

• Faith is the journey; hope is the destination.

• Every step of faith is a step toward hope.

• Walking by faith is living in pursuit of God’s promises.

• God’s promises are not just destinations but invitations to walk by faith.

James 2:17 NIV

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
