    The Light Of Hope

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 19, 2016
     | 8,354 views

    We all need hope. Here I’m touching on how Hope is like a light. It should give us optimism, transform our lives, and reminds us of our inheritance.

    THE LIGHT OF HOPE INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. You always need to be skeptical when you are offered a “free ride.” If it looks too good to be true, it probably IS too good to be true. Example: 2. In Zimbabwe, a bus driver was transporting 20 mental patients from one mental hospital to ...read more

    We live in a world that is filled with crime; slider crimes, drive-by’s, and various ‘get rich quick schemes.’ No wonder there’s so much confusion, despair, and hopelessness in the world.

    The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1-3: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things ...read more

    Much had changed since Naomi and Ruth returned from Moab. Neither woman had any idea what the Lord had in store for their future and how their lives were about to change.

    A Conversation of Hope Ruth 2: 19-23 As I studied this wonderful passage, I was reminded of the change that has taken place in such a short time. In the beginning verses, Naomi and Ruth had returned from Moab with little hope or confidence in the future. Little did they know that God was ...read more

    LIVING IN UNFAIRNESS 1 Peter 3:8-22 One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is that life is not always fair.

     | 23,266 views

    For many Christianity is just not working for them. That may be the reason so many Christians have so little real impact on others, on their world. They live without a clear purpose. God designed and created you for a purpose; His purpose.
