Despise Not The Day Of Small Beginnings

The more desperate the situation, the harder it is to wait patiently for resolution. In other words, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (Proverb 13:12). Yet we are called to walk by faith and our sovereign God strengthens our faith and provides hope through His sure promises. The sermon outline is as follows:
I. Divine sovereignty = the comfort of hope
II. The small beginning of hope
III. The fruit of those small beginnings
