Scripture: Revelation 22:1-7 NLT

1 Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. 3 No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. 4 And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. 5 And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever. 6 Then the angel said to me, "Everything you have heard and seen is trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who inspires his prophets has sent his angel to tell his servants what will happen soon. 7 "Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book."

1. HOPE is a RIVER (verses 1-2).

• Down the center of Main Street-Even though hope comes from the throne, it is readily available to every person.
• It always produces fruit.
  • Gratitude
  • ATTITUDE
  • Perspective

2. HOPE is a PLACE (verses 3-5).

• There is no darkness, only light-Any issue or problem you face right now that robs you of hope can be eradicated by imagining eternity.

3. HOPE is a PERSON (verses 6-7).

• He is trustworthy and true. Can you trust Him or not?
• He is coming soon! Every year that goes by, more and more biblical prophecies are fulfilled that signal His return.
