real hope

 


Hebrews 6:19  NLT

This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.

 

Several years ago a pastor friend said his calling in life was to be a “broker of hope”, and that is what I want to be known for.  People find what they need.  Why not be the one that offers what really matters?

 

This world needs more hope.  We would all agree that our world is in trouble.  All around us is hopelessness and pain, but we have hope.  This is not hope to win the lottery or hope to get a better job.  This is hope in who and what matters.

 

Accept the hope God offers.  Let that same hope flow through your words, actions, thoughts and even your calendar.  Hope is the byproduct of our connecting to God who loves us so much.

 

Psalm 31:24  NLT

So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!

 

Psalm 39:7  NLT

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

 

Jeremiah 29:11  NLT

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

 

We need more hope.  This hope has miracles tied to it.  This hope to tied to our great and mighty God.  He offers real hope!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
