    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.

    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.

    Intro: How many of you like to wait? I will just be honest I don’t like it at all. In fact I do everything I can to keep from waiting. I try to calculate in my non-mathematical head which Wal-Mart line will be the quickest and in my hurry I end up choosing the wrong one. I don’t ...read more

    This morning, I’d like to continue looking at the topic of "hope" which we began last week. Let’s begin with the basics. Hope is a function of two things: First, it arises from the fact that we have desires, that we prefer some things over others. Otherwise, we would be completely indifferent to ...read more
