Drawing from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and other scriptures, we examine what true hope means and how it provides practical strength and peace for the Christian in the "here and now." What You Will Learn:

Why hope is often treated as the "neglected middle child" of the big three virtues.

The difference between wishing and true biblical hope, which is an eager waiting (Romans 8:23-25).

8 Real-Life Hopes Every Disciple of Christ Possesses in the Present:

The Hope of Objective Truth and Freedom (John 8:31-32)

The Hope in God's Personal Care (1 Peter 5:6-7)

The Hope of Strength to Endure Every Trial (1 Corinthians 10:13) The Hope of Peace that Surpasses Understanding (Philippians 4:6-7)

The Hope of Divine Provision for All Your Needs (Philippians 4:19)

The Hope of Intercession from the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26-34)

The Hope that God Will Never Leave or Forsake You (Hebrews 13:5-6)

The Hope that All Things Work Together for Good (Romans 8:28)

The final, ultimate hope of eternal life, where God wipes away every tear (Revelation 21).

Let hope possess you as we reflect on God's promises this Advent season!
