FAITH, HOPE & LOVE

I've posted here three talks I gave at a weekend away - so they are not your usual Sunday talks.
The premise:   Faith, Hope & Love forms the framework for the whole Christian life. Having listened back to the Hope talk it especially needs some reworking (it is overly lecture-like and not affective enough for such a wonderful Christian doctrine). 

The  WHOLE  christian life can be summed up by how Jesus relates to each of these three big ideas: Faith, Hope & Love (1 Cor 13:13). The key to untangling life from the  doubts, anxieties, and frustrations that so often seem to plague us, lies in understanding the unique role that each one plays.

1. Faith in what we've already received from Jesus,  is the FOUNDATION upon which all christian living is built.
2. Hope projects a guaranteed VISION of what our Faith will one day grow into. Hope anchors our imagination in a yet unrealised future. It enables us to endure through life's contradictions & unresolved struggles.
3. Just like any architecturally designed house, Faith and Hope have been custom-designed to promote a particular LIFESTYLE:  in this case, a lifestyle of Love.
