What is Hope?<br />'Living Free' Series: http://www.ydyc.org/watch/living-free/<br />Session 4 Part 1: http://www.ydyc.org/media/video/living-free-series/session-four/what-is-hope/<br /><br />The word 'hope' for many means 'wishful thinking'. With sayings like: I hope you're feeling better tomorrow. We can only hope they'll survive. We are hoping the strike will end soon. I hope I haven't bored you. I hope you are all well. I hope she will treat you well.<br /><br />The word 'hope' in the Bible is different. It expresses confidence and assurance concerning the future, because it's based on God's promises, character and faithfulness.<br /><br />The video you are about to view is based on the promises of God. It'll give you hope if you struggle with addictions, habit, vice, or a weakness.<br /><br />Some people have more of a bias toward weaknesses, physical or emotional, than others. I hate that!<br /><br />Hopelessness is when you feel that all hope has gone. I know that feeling well - like when I learnt that my two grandchildren have Asperger's Syndrome. But God's promises are changing them and they are doing really well now.<br /><br />Bible hope quotes:<br /><br />"Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God." (Psalm 43:5)<br /><br />"The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love." (Romans 15:13)<br /><br />"Because of this, my heart will be glad, my words will be joyful, and I will live in hope." (Acts 2:26)<br /><br />Because of God's love for you, you can find a new beginning and live in hope today too!<br /><br />Learn 'What is Hope' and how to be free and in 'Session Four - Part One: What is Hope?'.
