A Sure Hope

Can you imagine a life where today's bad news can't touch your joy? A life where all the world around you is falling apart but it can't make your hope falter even for a second? Today Pastor Dave is going to show us that that's the kind of life that Jesus offers us! Jump into eternal life today and leave the fear behind!

When sin entered the world, there were many sad consequences, but the one major, catastrophic problem that resulted was that we became forever separated from the Father. Evil entered the world but God already had an answer for the problem, and today Pastor Dave looks at what Jesus says is the way to the Father.

The darkest, hardest times of my life have always been the ones that have drawn me closer to Jesus. They're the times that I learned how desperately I need him, and also how great and mighty his love is for me! Trouble is here to stay but we have one true hope and that's a Savior who knows what he's doing.

When you look at the world around you, are you consumed by fear? Do the circumstances of your life fill your vision and squeeze out the hope you know you should have—the hope you wish you had? Today, Pastor Dave is sharing Jesus' answer for your troubled heart and reminding us of the peace he brings.

That moment when we trust in ourselves and fall flat on our faces doesn't get to determine who we are or what our future will look like. Today, Pastor Dave will take us through the Savior's response to our failure. We all know that failure is going to happen, so what we will learn today is such good news for us!

The idea that God loves us even in our failure can be one of the hardest things to understand. We don't do a great job of loving others when they mess up so how could God love us? Pastor Dave will share today that when we come to God and say, “Daddy I messed up!” he will open his arms and say, “we can take care of that.”

God's desire for you is that you realize the love He has for you, and that you also extend that type of love toward others. Today, Pastor Dave will be exhorting you to have unconditional and sacrificial love towards others. Jesus said: “By this, all will know you are My disciples, by the love you have for one another”.

When flying on an airplane, you're instructed to put your oxygen mask on first, before helping others. The same concept is true regarding your personal walk with the Lord. The church can't truly reach the world for Jesus unless the church has first repented and been filled anew with the Holy Spirit.

One of the most typical attacks of the devil is trying to get you to question God's Word, and not believing what God has said. As Pastor Dave continues his teaching series through the Gospel of John, he'll be encouraging you to believe what God has said regarding His love towards you! Renew your mind in God's Word.

There is constant mention of a timeline all throughout the Bible. This timeline isn't one that's determined by you or any other person, but it's a sovereign God-ordained timeline. Today, Pastor Dave will be explaining how you can make all the plans you want, but God is ultimately in control of it all.
