How do you keep hope? When there are so many disappointments, how can you position your own heart to persevere with hope?

Expectancy.  I like the word.  It feels hopeful.  It’s filled with anticipation, the kind of mental alertness that causes a person to lean forward, eyes wide open with heart pumping desire.  To me it rightly expresses what happens to us when we become aware of God’s love for us.  God is a good Father who loves to give himself away to us.  His truth liberates us. His strength empowers us.  His call upon our lives gives us purpose.  There is something about his goodness that is beyond our imagination.  Expectancy!

As we enter into the New Year, I welcome you to join with us in discovering the God of past, present and future grace.  We will explore significant issues that challenge us, such as money and marriage.  We will learn how the living Jesus empowers us to endure difficulty and to keep faithful.

Here’s to a year filled with expanding freedom and greater love!
