    The Skeleton Of Hope

     | 319 views

    I wrote this message as a devotional to share at our next deacon's meeting. Our church is one of MANY churches without a full-time pastor. It's been over a year & a half since the previous pastor left & we need to remember the HOPE we have in Christ!

    The Skeleton of HOPE One thing that we could all use a little more of is hope. Hope is something that can be hard to find in today’s world. Hope seems to be gone, deceased, expired, no more. Hope is nothing but a dried-up skeleton. But that doesn’t mean we should shrug our shoulders & give ...read more

     | 151 views

    Christmas reveals God’s unstoppable light, breaking chains and restoring hope through unlikely people, unexpected places, and redeeming love.

    There are certain songs we hear so often that they begin to fade into the background. They become part of the seasonal wallpaper—pleasant, familiar, predictable. Christmas music, especially, can do that to us. You hear it in grocery stores. In elevators. On hold with customer service. Played ...read more

    Before you can have hope, you must have faith! Faith is for today – Hope is for tomorrow. Faith in Christ is placing your trust in Him, it is a relationship of trust... Hope is that trust extended into the future, extended toward tomorrow.

    Advent is a time of tension. There is the joy and anticipation of the season and the stress and strain of trying to prepare for it, amen? But the season itself represents an historical and theological tension as well and I am going to use songs from the Jewish song book and songs from our own ...read more
