Week of December 9, 2007, Romans 15:4-13
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from Romans, chapter 15, verses 4-13. Paul again teaches and encourages with this message of hope:
Romans 15:4-13
4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
6 so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs
9 so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name."
10 Again, it says, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."
11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and sing praises to him, all you peoples."
12 And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him."
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope and message of Advent, that Christ has come, Christ continues to come to each of us, and that Christ will come again.
Jesus, give me a love for Your Word, the Word incarnate, bringing hope and endurance and encouragement and power. Help all of us to declare You as Lord and Savior, whole heartedly, and with one heart and mouth. Help us to praise and glorify You so that we look to You for all things.
Thanks for the joy that You bring, the peace that You give, and the hope and power of the Holy Spirit that You impart. Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace this Advent season as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit, and experience God’s presence in a wonderful way this week.
