"Hope for the Future" - Even if you don't know much about the Bible, you probably know about Jeremiah 29:11. This verse has exploded in popularity in the 21st century. The reason people like this verse is because it talks about the hope of God blessing people. The problem with that is it is often thought to mean something it really doesn't mean. In this lesson, we look at what this verse doesn't mean (how it's often taken out of context) and then we try to learn some practical lesson we can take away from it about hope for the future.

By its very definition hope is based on a belief of good things in the future. But while hope is set on the future, there is an aspect of it that benefits us in the present. In this lesson, we turn our focus to Romans 8; one of the great chapters in Scripture! This chapter teaches us about hope, but it also teaches us that hope is something we can enjoy "now."

Have you ever considered that when you pray you are exercising a part of your faith that is really rooted in hope? That's right, you don't pray because you believe in prayer, you pray because you believe in God, our hope! On one occasion, Jesus taught a parable to remind us we ought to pray and not lose hope. But his most famous prayer, which is often called the model prayer, is really a prime example of how prayer is rooted in hope. In the Lord’s prayer, we are reminded of why we pray and why we have hope in God.

Seven words! It's amazing how overlooked these seven words have been, yet they are bursting forth with so much power and possibility. In part two of this lesson, we continue to look at Paul's great description of what the Christian life really is.

The seven words at the end of Colossians 1:27 have been called a perfect statement of the Gospel. Yet, for all the lofty descriptions some have given to them perhaps you've struggled to understand what those seven words mean. To get a better understanding of these seven words is to better understand what the Christian life is.

We live in challenging and changing times. Often we are left feeling unsettled and uncertain, like a ship in a storm being tossed to and fro. But God has a remedy called "hope."

If you had been living in Jerusalem in 586 BC, you would have witnessed the worst tragedy of your life.
