Sermon Title: “A Crazy Weekend” - Day 2







Scripture: 2 Kings 3:21-25 (AMP-Amplified Bible)



21 Now all the Moabites heard that the [three] kings had come up to fight against them, and all [a]who were able to put on armor, as well as those who were older, were summoned and stood [together in battle formation] at the border. 22 When they got up early the next morning, the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water across from them as red as blood. 23 And they said, “This is blood! Clearly the kings have fought together, and have killed one another. Now then, Moab, to the spoil [and the plunder of the dead soldiers]!” 24 But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land, killing the Moabites [as they went]. 25 They destroyed the [walls of the] cities, and each man threw a stone on every piece of good land, covering it [with stones]. And they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until they left nothing in Kir-hareseth [Moab’s capital city] but its stones. Then the [stone] slingers surrounded the city and destroyed it.











Crazy – Extremely enthusiastic



Hope – a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen



Crazy Hope – Extreme enthusiastic expectation for something to happen







Hope is in the process







You will do the work if you are expecting something to happen in the process







Hope is in God’s work







You have no idea how crazy God’s work will be







Hope is in reality







When it finally happens, our crazy hope is confirmed and we encouraged to keep up the crazy hope.
