The Hope – Faith Connection

In 1 Corinthians 13:13, we see there is a connection between faith, hope, and love. This week we are looking at the connection between hope and faith. We are not called to have blind faith.

A Journey of Hope Continues

Like the saying says, “All roads lead to Rome.” Our journey this week we are stopping off in Romans. Paul has a lot to say about hope. We know that Paul’s journey ended in Rome.

Do You Have a Reason?

Hope is a funny four letter word. It, not matter what, always looks to the future, “I hope you feel better.” Even in the past tense, “I hoped you would come.”, hope is in a future action. In 1 Peter 1:3-5 we see; Hope looks to the future because it is living. It based onContinue reading “Do You Have a Reason?”
