In Pastor Ernesto Sánchez’s recent sermon, “When Hope Starts Small,” we delved into the profound message that even the smallest beginnings can lead to transformative hope.

1. Insights from Isaiah 11:

Isaiah speaks of a shoot emerging from the stump of Jesse, symbolizing new beginnings and divine hope. This imagery teaches us that even when things seem barren or hopeless, God’s promise of renewal is always present. It’s a reminder that our church, too, can experience growth and renewal, even from humble beginnings.

2. Lessons from Matthew 3:

In Matthew 3, John the Baptist calls for repentance and prepares the way for Christ. This teaching emphasizes the importance of repentance and preparation for God’s work in our lives. For our church, this means that as we grow and reach out to the community, we must remain open to transformation and renewal, inviting others to join us on this journey.

3. Applying the Teachings to Our Church’s Growth:

As our church continues to grow, we are planting seeds of hope and faith in our community. Each small step, whether through outreach programs, new ministry initiatives, or community engagement, reflects our commitment to growth and renewal.

Pastor Ernesto encourages us to embrace these small beginnings with faith, knowing that they are the foundation for a bright and hopeful future.
