Episode 75: Defining Hope

Defining Hope

In a world that seems out of control, we all need something to hang onto, something solid, something unchanging.  That thing that we hang onto is "hope".  Unfortunately throughout history mankind has tried "hoping" in anything and everything they could think of, but like sand through your fingers, placing your hope in anything but the God of the Bible, and His promises, your misplaced hope will slip away and be lost forever.  Now for the Good News!  God is real!  The Bible is true!  The Bible tells us to not place our hope in things of this earth, but rather to place our hope in Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection, allowing us the opportunity to live for eternity with Him in Heaven (if we receive it). 

Join Pastor Jason as he discusses the "hope" that the Christian has after life is over. What is Heaven, why is it there, can we really place our hope in Christ who promises us an eternal existence at the end of our journey on earth? And most importantly, how can one obtain that hope that not only surpasses all the trials, tribulations, pain, and hurt of this world, but outshines our happiest, must joyful, brightest days as well!

Preceding the message for today is a short message for all the mothers out there on this special day commemorating motherhood, brought to you by Mrs. Jennifer Robbins. We'd like to recognize the important role of a mom, and how much they mean to the life of their children. We THANK YOU for all you do, and for all you are, and pray God's blessing on your life and the critical part you play in God's creation!  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
