    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,222 views

    This sermon seeks to communicate the truth of how revival can become a reality for the person who realizes that hope rests inside of you through Christ.

    My question today is, “What is the hope of revival?” In all honesty the answer is, it’s a mystery. It’s a mystery in the biblical sense of that word. I believe the hope of revival is in the mystery that has now been made known verses 26-27, “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and ...read more

    This sermon looks at the nature of our hope, especially in terms of how we face death.

    Part one of a four part series on the four themes of Advent - hope, peace, joy, and love. Describes "hope" and how it is powerful and beneficial.

    If there are two things which are universal to the human condition, it’s that we all hold hope dear to our heart, and we all have to face disappointments and some time or another. Though many may not realize it, hope isn’t just a universal experience, it’s a universal need.

    OPENING STORY On this Armed Forces Day weekend, I am reminded of one of the persistent dreams of my childhood.

    Mary and all Israel hoped in a Savior who would provide His people with salvation from sin and redemption unto God. In this passage, Mary was finally able to confidently declare her hope aloud through song and call Him “God my Savior.”

    I’ve entitled our message for this morning “A Song of Hope.” The passage we’re going to see is often called the “Song of Mary.” In Mary’s words, we hear an expression of anticipation and joy in the coming fulfillment of her hope. So, what was Mary’s hope? Mary had the same hope as all the nation ...read more

    The other day I watched some video of the 2004 World Series (won by my Boston Red Sox).

But now I can calmly watch because I ...read more
