The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

“All in for hope means trusting that the promise is already on its way.”

Trusting God in the space between prayer and promise

Hope is not passive — it’s confident expectation

HOPE LIVES IN THE WAITING -- Hebrews 11:1

Hope isn’t only at arrival — it’s built in the wait

Waiting stretches trust but strengthens faith

You can trust God even when you can’t see progress

GOD’S TIMING IS PERFECT -- Galatians 4:4

Delays don’t mean denial

God moves on His timeline, not ours -- Ecclesiastes 3:11

God is never late — He’s always intentional

ABRAHAM: TRUSTING THE PROMISE -- Romans 4:18-21

Abraham waited years for fulfillment

He believed even when circumstances said “no”

Going all in means trusting God’s power, not the timeline

CHRISTMAS: PROMISE IN MOTION -- Matthew 1:22–23

Israel waited centuries for the Messiah

Hope arrived quietly but powerfully

If God fulfilled the greatest promise, He’ll fulfill yours
