In this sermon, Pastor Beth explores how human beings often place ultimate hope in things too small to hold it—family, institutions, nostalgia, or control. Christian hope is not rooted preserving the world exactly as it is, but in the redeeming presence of the living Christ. Because Christ is alive, our lives are no longer anxious attempts to earn God’s love, but faithful responses to the God who has already come near.
