Hope for Today

II Corinthians 4:1-6  Welcome to another lesson from II Corinthians, we are honored you have chosen to be here with us. Heralds of Hope produces this program, but Bible teaching is not the only thing we do. We also distribute Bibles. Please pray for us as you think about us. Pray that God would use these Bibles to build His kingdom and make disciples of Jesus everywhere they are distributed. Whether it is teaching the Word or distributing it, we are committed to the principles found in these pages.  J Mark will teach us today’s lesson from II Corinthians 3. […]

II Corinthians 3:7-18  Welcome, thanks for joining us. This program is produced by Heralds of Hope, we are a small media ministry, and our mission is to use media to make disciples of Jesus Christ to accomplish the great commission in our lifetime. Media has many forms, what you are doing, listening to the radio, is one form. There is also TV, internet, and the printed page. There are many forms of media, and we want to use everyone we can to make disciples.  Today we will be looking at the next section of verses in II Corinthians 3. We […]

II Cor. 3:1-6  Thanks for joining us on Hope for Today, we are honored to be here and so glad you chose to be there. Recently we received this testimony from one of our listeners, “Through the program, I have learned a lot but one thing that remains in my heart is that despite what we are undergoing in our daily life, it is good to put our hope and trust in God.”   We completely agree, only God is big enough for your hope and trust. Putting your hope or trust in anything besides Him will be a letdown. We […]

II Cor. 2:12-17  Welcome to another lesson from II Corinthians. We are so glad you joined us. Our title today is Diffusing the Aroma of Christ, and it is taken from II Cor 2. Here is Pastor J Mark for today’s teaching.   “Essential oils” are almost as old as human history. These oils are compounds that are derived or extracted from plants, especially herbs, and then they’re mixed with a carrier oil to make them usable. Today, essential oils are used in aromatherapy or applied directly to the skin.   One way to use essential oils is in a diffuser. Diffusers […]

II Cor. 1:23-2:11  We are honored to be with you today, thank you for joining us. Last week we had the first session about the heart of a Godly leader and this week we will continue our teaching on this topic. We are looking at the qualities that show the heart of a Godly leader. Last week’s qualities were he thinks carefully and loves deeply. Today J Mark will finish teaching about loving deeply and share the third quality, he forgives graciously.   Before we start today’s teaching, here is a leadership lesson from Jesus for you to think about. He […]

II Cor. 1:23-2:11  It is good to be here with you, thank you for joining us on Hope for Today and today we are going to look at the Heart of a Godly Leader.  This lesson covers two weeks, we will start it today and finish it next week.    Some of you may be thinking, “I am not a leader, this won’t apply to me.” What exactly is a leader? John Maxwell said, “Leadership is influence.” Do you know anyone who has no influence? If you know people, then you have influence. I agree with Maxwell if you have influence, […]

II Cor. 1:3-7  It is good to be with you for another week. Today is our second lesson from II Corinthians. Each week we look at a few verses and hear what God is saying through those verses. There are many ways you can study the Bible and learn from it. Lord willing He will guide us and each week we will become more like Him as we study His word together.   We have just started working our way through Second Corinthians and last week we took some time to look at the actual city of Corinth. If you can, […]

Exodus 40:17-38  We are honored to be with you today. Thanks for joining us for this last lesson in Exodus. Next week we begin our study in Second Corinthians. However, today’s lesson is a longer section of verses from Exodus 40 titled “Preparing for Worship.”   I don’t know what comes into your mind when you hear that title, but I was reminded of the passage I heard this morning as I was listening to Acts chapter 17. There, Paul preaches to the people of Athens. Keep in mind these people who were religious with many gods they even had an […]

Exodus 34:29-31  Hello and thank you for listening to Hope for Today. We are honored to be with you again today. The program you are listening to is produced by Heralds of Hope, we are a small ministry from the United States. Two things we focus on are Bible distribution and Bible teaching. We teach the Bible via this program and another program called The Voice of Hope. Our method is exegetical Bible teaching and using this method we have taught through several books in the Bible.   In Bible distribution, last year 2023, we shared just over 100,000 copies of […]

Exodus 34:18-28  It is good to be with you again, thanks for being there, and thanks for listening to Hope for Today. Our title today is “Details are Important” and it is taken from Exodus 34. As I was thinking about this title and looking at Exodus 34, I thought about a question I have heard many times over the years.    Before I worked at Heralds of Hope I taught school in a small Christian school here in our city. I enjoy teaching and still have the privilege of teaching, although now I teach part-time instead of full-time. The question […]
