PRODUCT WARNING! THE DANGER OF HOPE MISPLACED:

Proverbs 13:12

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”

What are “hopes that disappoint” and “false hopes” that you have experienced in your past?

This is another way you can discuss “idols” of the heart and that they are bad gods.

Why do “hopes of this world” so often fail and make your heart sick?

Because we think they can satisfy but they always return void.  It only makes us want more.
