Bellbrook United Methodist Church – Our Vision is to know God and to serve others.

Sunday Worship (November 24th)

This is the last week of the "Counting Every Blessing" worship series, and this week, we will look at the topic of hope.

Hope is a feeling of trust and a blessing from God. Hope keeps us going when life gets hard and strengthens us in seasons of uncertainty or sorrow. The promise of hope gives us a sense that something better is coming and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So, Christian hope goes beyond wishful thinking or mere optimism because it is rooted in God's promises and secured by Jesus Christ's resurrection.

Another thing that makes the promise of hope so wonderful is that this hope is not something that we must wait for; it is available today. Romans 15:13 says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit". Notice that Paul calls God "the God of hope". Friends, this is foundational. This means our hope doesn't come from circumstances, other people, or even our abilities. It comes from the very nature of God. God is the source of hope simply because God is faithful to God's promises.

Indeed, the world offers many false hopes and promises of success, security, and happiness that often fail to deliver. But the hope found in Christ is different. It is based on God's word, character, and covenant with us through Jesus.

Come and join in worship and hear Tandana and Anna Taft's testimony of hope. I'm sure you'll be blessed.
