Hope for Today

"Empty Spaces: The Dynamics of Life" is a story about redemption, by Corey Thompson. Corey wrote his story years ago and little did he know that God would open doors for his book to be published in 2018. God in His perfect timing asked Corey to share his story about life, self-evaluation, growth, taking ownership, forgiveness, and healing. Corey Thompson resides in Seattle, Washington, and attends Church by the Side of the Road in Tukwila, Washington. He has a heart for youth and has served with church youth groups and youth organizations such as Young Life. He knows the struggles of our youth today – he's been there, done that!  And, chances are he's been in some of the same places where most of our youth find themselves today. Corey, however, allowed God to fill his empty spaces and today he is sharing his story of redemption. Join us Tuesday, July 17, 2018, at 3:00 PM, PDT,as we feature our guest Corey Thompson, author of Empty Spaces: The Dynamics of Life. Corey's book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

In America we celebrate Independence Day, on the fourth of July. It is a federal holiday in the United States, meaning federal government agencies observe this holiday and are closed for the day. According to Wikipedia, during the American Revolution the legal separation of thirteen colonies from Great Britain occurred in 1776 on July 2. America declared independence from under Great Britain rule with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. American history tells us we fought, earned, deserved and declared our freedom. Join us Tuesday, July 3, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PDT,as we explore the question separate from Christ and the spirit of truth, is any country really free?

In Acts chapter thirteen, Paul and Barnabus were consecrated for the work of the Lord. They were sent away on their first missionary journey to Paphos of Cyprus. They preached to the men of Israel and were met with fierce opposition. The Jews were jealous that the word of God was being preached to the Gentiles. In Acts 13:52 it says, "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit." Just think how discouraged and distracted they could have been if they did not choose joy during adversity. Join us Tuesday, June 19, 2018, at 2:30 PM, PDT, as we examine the plea for the Lord to fill us up and how important it is to choose joy.

Everything we have and own is a gift from God. He has made us overseers and expects us to be good stewards not only over our finances, but also our resources, time, and talents.  Believe it or not there are biblical principles for financial stewardship. Matthew 6:33 promises that God will provide enough stuff and money for those putting His Kingdom first (paraphrased). Overall, it's another opportunity for us to trust God in one more area of our lives.  Join us Tuesday, June 5, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we discover instruction in the Word of God on how we should conduct our financial affairs.

God has made us a promise, "I will never leave nor forsake you." Where then is God when we need Him most? Why does it feel like we are walking alone through difficult times? The truth is, Jesus is with us in the midst of the tumultuous storm and amid the calm of the storm. We just need a reminder of where to find God in crisis!

We serve a mighty God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. God is everywhere. He is not bound by space or time. Life and death are in His hands. He sees and knows all things. Whether we're struggling with damaged or broken relationships, an unexpected crisis, unemployment, depression, or injustice, He hears the cries of our hearts. The Lord is there for you and me –He has been, and always will be time and again. 

Join us Tuesday, May 22, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we are reminded of the Lord's faithfulness and His presence while walking through times of crisis.

Mother's Day is upon us, a time to celebrate mothers, grandmothers, God-mothers, foster mothers, adoptive mothers, and the like. I'm a little saddened around this time and struggle with how to celebrate Mother's Day.  Why? Because my mother died May 11, 2016, and the last Mother's Day we celebrated with her was May 8, 2016. My four sisters and I thanked God that we were able to honor and celebrate her one last time while she was still here on earth!  And, we especially thank Him today for the mother He gave us! When I think about her, the passages in Proverbs 31:10-31, often called the Virtuous Womanor The Wife of Noble Character,come to mind. My mother truly was of good character; clothed with dignity and strength; spoke with wisdom; watched over the affairs of her house; and her children "Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." She was an exceptional woman. Join us Tuesday, May 8, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as sisters reminisce about their mother and the impact she had on their lives yesterday and today.

I remember learning "Jesus Loves Me", a children's hymn in Sunday school at the age of five or six.  At that early age I could not comprehend the magnitude of Jesus' love. Today however, I can affirm His love for me because of my relationship with Him and because the Bible tells me so.  The Bible is full of verses, content, and context proclaiming applicable truths to the song “Jesus Loves Me.” This leads to the question, how should we respond to this powerful hymn? And, will we let the Bible tell us so? The truth of Christ’s love is simple to say or sing, yet difficult to believe. It takes faith --a saving faith provided by God. The term “love” evokes a relationship, intimacy, commitment, and devotion. Join us Tuesday, April 24, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST,as we consider this childhood hymn, its origin, and what it really means to say Jesus Loves Me.

The Bible says in Genesis 1:27, "God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (NKJV) Those passages are significant, if you believe in the creation. What about the desires of people who want to find out more about their genetic makeup and ancestry? Most have resorted to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing. DNA is an abbreviation for the very thing that makes us who we are. I personally know of individuals who are interested in learning more about their family of origin. They want answers to such questions as, from what countries did my ancestors come? What is my ancestry dominant race? Who are my distant relatives? I have family members and friends who have submitted their home testing kit to receive their results and now they know more than they knew before. Isn't knowing God as creator of all things enough? Join us Tuesday, April 10, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we consider DNA a challenge to believers and nonbelievers alike.  Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

Resurrection Sunday is Christianity's defining moment. Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. Matthew 28:6 says, "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." And because of His death, burial, and resurrection, Christians are free from the penalty of sin, which is death, and we have the promise and hope of eternal life. He is risen, He is risen indeed!  Join us Tuesday, March 27, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we examine the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and what it means for Christians.

I love church hymns! When singing them they minister to me deep down within my soul. Christian hymns give us hope and faith, because they are rooted in theology and share the richness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Centuries ago, singing hymns in church gatherings was important to our forefathers just as it is for us today. Imagine, the Christian hymns that were penned dating back to the 6th century are still popular today in 21st century churches. Join us Tuesday, March 13, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we remind ourselves of the beauty and significance of truth-filled Christian hymns.
