Love Hopes

FIRST15
About this episode

As we near the end of our series on Love Does, today we’re going to look at the role of hope in putting our faith into action. You and I need hope more than ever. We need God to give us fresh vision for the work he’s doing and will do in the world around us. And we need him to empower us to share that vision with others, that our perspective would be grounded in his goodness. May God fill us as his people with fresh hope in his presence today.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 13:7, and today's worship is Graves Into Gardens by Elevation Worship.

Thanks for listening to today’s podcast, Love Hopes.

 

Take notice today as you go about your day of someone around you who seems hopeless. And when you notice it, before going up to him or her, ask God for a word of hope. Sharing that word of hope, given to you straight from the heart of God, can make more difference than we can imagine in the life of another.

 

May God empower you today to be a giver of hope as he is.

 

Make sure to rate the podcast today, and take just a moment to share the hope you’re finding in

this space for God’s presence.

 

I pray that the rest of your day is filled with hope in God, and that God blesses you as you seek

him.

Forgive the Person, Not Their Actions
In today’s First15, we continue our weeklong focus on forgiveness by looking at the idea of separating out our forgiveness of the person from their actions. It’s often our failure to do this separation that keeps us from engaging in the lifegiving command to forgive. But God has ... Show More
