The gospel calls to us. It is more than background noise. Receiving the gospel as hope requires us to not merely hear it but to intimately listen. In his message based on Tim Keller’s Hope in Times of Fear, Pastor Jordan Kologe shows how three personal encounters with the resurrected Jesus found in John 20 brought hope to Mary Magdalene, Peter and John, and Thomas. Using these case studies involving intimacy, intellect, and the senses, we too can make the hope found in the good news of the risen Jesus our own.
