Hope is not simply an important part of a fulfilling life. Hope is of the essence of the People of God.

God’s people are a people looking toward the fulfilment of the promises of God. There are partial fulfillments along the way. Yet the very experience of the hoped for fulfilment gives rise to the realisation that there is yet more to hope for!

Seasons when we misplace our hope often come down to the uncomfortable process of recalibrating the connection between the promise of God and the way we had construed it should be fulfilled.

The truly hope-filled reality is that God is faithful and holds us even when our own hold on hope appears lacking.

We have good reason to hope.
