Our ninth class from our In
the Psalms class from our EVERLASTING HOPE: Summer Programme 2024!
In Psalm 139, Jordan focused on two
truths highlighted by David in this Psalm. Firstly, we are intimately known by
God and, secondly, the all-present God is always with us. As we trust in these
truths, we must praise and thank God, be honest and real with God and surrender
to God’s work in us.

been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through
whom also we have access by faith into this grace in
which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And
not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing
that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character;
and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because

It is our desire to see our Students grow in their
relationship with Jesus during and outside the Cultivate Discipleship
Programme! This summer our theme is Everlasting Hope, sourced from Romans 5:1-5
and Psalm 42:5. We will be focusing on how, as believers, it is vital to place
our hope in the sure, living, and everlasting God alone.
Hope is having a confident expectation of something
good. As believers, we often place our hope in all the wrong places:
experiences, relationships, possessions, dreams and aspirations. Over the
summer, we will look at how misplaced hope ends in disappointment and unmet
expectations, as all things suffer from a degree of brokenness and were not
created to be the source of our hope. We aim to explore how the pressure of
life builds in us a hope that will not be disappointed enabling us to encourage
our soul to hope in God; like the Psalmist did in Psalm 42. Believer, be assured of such hope as God has proved His
intention to complete His work in us.
It was our heart that our Students left the Summer
Programme with the assurance that they can place their hope in God, in all
seasons of life, being confident that our God will deliver and be
