Hope

Hopelessness plagues most people at some point or another. It isn’t reserved for a select few. Even many of our honored Biblical heroes suffered from a lack of hope from time to time. Tony Evans shares thoughts on how to have hope and overcome despair in this short reading plan.

There’s Hope

There are times in everyone’s life when the smooth-sailing ship comes into rough waters, and it looks like there is no hope of a way out. In fact, Jesus Himself warned us that life would not be easy, and we could expect to encounter all kinds of trouble and distress during our lifetimes. Paul also instructs Christians to be patient in affliction. This is often easier said than done, especially when we try to navigate the troubling times on our own.

As followers of Jesus, we have been give a promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. Therefore, no matter how difficult life’s circumstances become, we can still have hope because we know we are never alone. We also have hope in the gift of the Holy Spirit, who is our comforter in times of grief, and gives us peace in times of trouble.

This Life Group series will help give you a better understanding of the hope that we have in Jesus, even through the difficult time of life. With the help of Scripture, you will learn how God’s love brings you hope and gives you encouragement to share the burdens of others as they go through difficulties. Ultimately, the goal of this series is to help you better understand and realize that wherever Christ is present, there is always hope. It is our prayer and desire that through this series, you will find Jesus’ hope and strength during troubled times, experience the peace and comfort that only God can provide, and consequently, grow your faith in Jesus.

Hope

At some point hope has probably seemed useless. You’ve been disappointed – even grieved – at the cards you’ve been dealt? Have you been there?

God’s word tells us there’s hope. Hope is the glimmer of light when your world has gone dark. It’s that reason to get up in the morning when you’d rather hide from reality. HOPE is what we all need to survive. There’s one who offers hope. Find your way back to hope and discover how to stay there. Let the light of hope seep into your everyday life.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

In the Gap

Learn how to have hope when everything seems hopeless and to have faith when the situation is dire. Each session shares testimonies and examples of courageous people in Scripture— Nehemiah, Esther, Noah, David, Barnabas, and Gideon—who recognized desperate needs and trusted God to use them to make a difference. 

Used in conjunction with the book and companion study guide, this six-session series is essential for inspiring believers to step into the gaps around them.

Unshakable Hope

Hope is hard to come by these days. Whether it’s heart disease or cancer, job failure or addiction, natural disasters or family disasters, mass murders or mental illness, there are so many reasons to be overwhelmed.

In a world full of instability, we do not need more opinions or hunches; we need the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God.

What is your life built on—the circumstances of life or the promises of God? The answer to that question changes everything. Join Max as he takes a closer look at Scripture’s unbreakable promises and shows you how to live with unshakable hope.
