EMPOWERED Patience: Patient and eager hope

Hebrews 6:15 | Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.

  • What was Abraham waiting for?

  • What does patiently waiting look like?

Romans 8:23b-25 | We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

  • What promise are God’s followers waiting for?

  • What does it mean to wait with eager hope?

  • How can we wait patiently for something we’re eager for? (Remember— patience is a fruit of the Spirit!)

Hebrews 10:36 | Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

  • While we wait for Jesus’ return, what are we supposed to do?

  • What is God’s will for you and all followers? Are you obeying?
