Our Blessed Hope
One of the most powerful evidences of the gospel in the lives of God's people is the presence of an abiding hope. This is not a "wishful thinking" type of hope, but rather a rock-solid assurance and certainty of the future based upon the promises of God. When the gospel impacts a person's life, this God-established hope becomes a reality, and begins to make a difference not just in our view of the future, but in how we live out our days of "groaning" while we wait for "our blessed hope", the coming of our great God and Savior.

Faith Is Worth It
No one denies it—we live in a world where bad things happen. This has caused more than a few to reject faith. Yet, the Bible does not portray the faith life as trouble free. Far from it. Virtually all Bible characters were beset by trials. Yet, in spite of it all, they considered faith their greatest asset. That is true of most who have ever lived lives of faith. If you have never tried faith, you should. Its better than any alternative. Gen 14, 21; 1Sam 17; 2Sam 11-15; Acts 9; Acts 19:11-12; Acts 20:7-12; 2Cor 11:23ff; Jn 16:33; Psalm 23, 62; Php 3:5-14

Hope
In whom or what are you placing your hope? In parents, relationships, careers, or wealth? Things like these are often the center of our expectations. But, eventually, all these earthly hopes decay. Always. How can we remain hopeful in a world that at times seems hopelessly broken? In this message, Dave Adams explores the Biblical answer to this question.

A Leap of Faith To live a life of peace
We live in a world that seems to be without peace. We live in a world that is looking for answers. We live in a world that faces storms and trials every day. It is time to take a leap of faith to live a life of peace that can only come from God. It is time to take a leap of faith to live a life of peace with men. There is no peace in the things of the world. True peace can only be found in Christ.
