We have all been in hopeless situations.

It could be something as simple as watching your favorite sports team losing badly in a game, so you turn it off at halftime. You lose hope.

Or maybe it is the diet that you have been religiously following. You hop on the scale a week later to find out that you actually gained a pound. You lose hope and binge on salty and savory foods.

And maybe you even lose hope that God is going to help you. You struggle with an issue or relationship or situation for so long, it just seems like God is never going to come to your aid.

All of us know what it is like to lose hope in some facet of our lives.

This weekend at CrossWalk Church we're continuing our message series called "Stand Out." This week we are going through chapter three of the book of Daniel.

Three friends of Daniel were in a hopeless situation. They refused to fall down and worship a statue the king set up and they faced the death penalty as a result.

They knew God was strong enough to help them, but they weren't sure how exactly he would help.In our message we will see that God joins us in our suffering and will eventually free us from the suffering. And for that reason we always have hope, no matter what we are facing.

Find the difference that hope can make in your hopeless situations.
