    Living With Hope

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 30, 2015

     | 24,006 views

    Today we focus on hope. Advent is all about hope. But hope isn’t something we can manufacture. We can’t just try to be more hopeful. Hope doesn’t come with the power of positive thinking. Hope is based on who Christ is and His promises to us!

    Living with Hope Intro: Advent is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming of Christ, the time before celebrating the “joy to the world” that God’s incarnation becomes. In advance of a celebratory Christmas season that follows Advent, it is good for us to take time to ...read more

    This season of Advent is also a season of busyness. There are so many gifts to buy, parties to attend and events to plan for. We must remember the real reason for the season. We must keep our eyes and minds focused on God.

    We are deep in the Advent season-a season of expectation and preparation. Many of us are looking forward to Christmas-a time of celebrating with family and friends. It is a time when we remember the greatest miracle of all-the coming of Jesus. Before Jesus was born, there was a great sense of ...read more

    Jesus' answer to a two- or three-pronged question revisited.

    THE SECOND COMING. Matthew 24. I have been looking anew into Matthew 24, trying to view the passage without the prejudices of popular opinion. It has been quite a humbling exercise.

    Simeon spent his life looking for the Messiah. He teaches us that those who seek the Lord will find him.

    You will always find what you are looking for. Your parents probably told you when you were young, “if you go looking for trouble, it will be sure to find you.” The principle at work is a spiritual one, “your actions will be directed toward the thing you desire most.” I know a lady loves ...read more

    John the Baptist received the word of God in the desert, and prepared the people for the coming of Christ by calling them to repentance.

    We are in the season of Advent. We prepare now for the coming of Christ at Christmas, and we recall that He will come again with power and great glory on the last day. The Incarnation was long foretold by the prophets and looked for by God’s faithful people. The secular world prepares for ...read more

    God comes TO you and He comes FOR you. Let this two simple truths encourage you to trust in His faithfulness and goodness. He has never and will never leave you. He is always for you, and not against you.

     | 13,593 views

    With the greatest gift ever given, the gift of God’s Son, we have received the gift of hope.

    When Christ came to this earth as a baby born in Bethlehem, He came to a world that was without hope. But He brought hope. Hope is a precious commodity in human life. What a contrast of emotions there is between the words, “hopeless” and “hopeful.” The Bible uses both ideas. “Hopeless” describes ...read more

    Be A Blessing (At Christmas)

     | 7,001 views

    The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to take a walk or enjoy the fresh air. Each holiday reminds us of lost loved ones... of blessings that seem to have become curses... that haunt instead of hope.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for most, but for some it ends up being a sad and stressful season. Many are without friends, family, or money searching for joy. Long nights and shorter days seem to loom over spirits like a dark blanket. The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to ...read more

    In the story of Zechariah we see how God moves in prayer and how even a faithful man can have an unfaithful response.

    Luke 1:11-20, “Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: ‘Do no be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth ...read more
