Our HOPE is Secure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.<\/em> (Heb. 6:19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Christ-followers, we are not exempt from the sorrow and sufferings of the world. We know this already\u2026 \u201c<\/em>the Lord makes the sun shine and the rain fall both on the righteous and the unrighteous<\/em>\u201d<\/strong>\u2026 we all go through it! So what difference does it make?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where Hope comes in<\/em> – the difference lies with OUR HOPE! Because of Jesus\u2019 resurrection \u2013 the grave and death are no longer enemies to be feared! Hope becomes the sure and steadfast anchor for the soul. Just as an anchor holds the ship securely through the tides and the storms, our hope in Christ secures our future no matter how the winds and the waves buffet our faith today. The trouble we are facing today doesn\u2019t exempt us from current pain\u2026 the road ahead is full of twists and turns -change and turbulence are a given- but Hope in Christ<\/em><\/strong> is the unchanging security that stabilizes our walk and gives motivation to press on forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
