If you live in a fallen world, there are things to be afraid of. Fear is not a sinful thing, and preparing for the future and making plans to protect yourself against what the Bible warns about is wise. But there is something stronger than fear that must characterize a follower of Jesus Christ: hope. In this first sermon in a six-part series on hope, Paul Tripp uses Romans 8 to warn about life in a fallen world and outlines the practical and study hope we have as children of God. Preached on November 22, 2009.
