Topic:
Holding on to Hope - This set of three talks focuses on the theme of our hope in Christ as seen in the Psalms. Searching for Hope (Ps. 42-43) explores why we all search for hope but often feel blocked from the fulfillment of it. The Power for Hope (Ps. 121) builds on this concept by looking at the basis for our hope: the character and nature of a God who always keeps his promises. The Life of Hope (Ps. 126) casts a vision for what a life built on hope looks like in a world of disappointment and pain. Every talk takes us back to Jesus - the one on whom all of our hopes depend.
