Faith and Courage  | Finding Hope

We are a lost people looking for direction and hope. 

When a society turns its back on God and looks to science or philosophy to find its hope, that society as truly lost its way. 

We must be careful that we don’t put our hope in science alone. 

Our hope starts with the belief in God and what he has created. 

Hebrews 11:1-3 NIV 

Do you have hope? 

Job 8:11-13 TLB; 1 Peter 1:3 NIV 

1st Hope is found in Jesus 

– Hebrews 6:19 NIV 

o Hope is firm 

o Hope is secure 

– Romans 15:13 TPT 

– 1 Peter 1:18-21 NIV

– Titus 1:1-2 ERV 

– 2 Timothy 3:16-17 TLB 

– Hebrews 6:13-18 NIV 

– Psalms 130:5-7 NIV 

By having a firm foundation in God’s word, we will not lose hope. 

Note: Luke 18:1

What causes us to give up hope?
