I Choose Hope - Finding Hope, Part 1

Living on the Edge
About this episode

A person can only survive only so long without food or water. But did you know that some experts say we can't survive at all without hope? Join Chip as he explains every person has an HQ - a Hope Quotient - and why it matters!

Understanding Hope:

Finding Hope & Keeping it Alive

The context: Philippians 1-2

  • In difficult circumstances = I choose joy!
  • In challenging relationships = I choose love!
  • In confusion and chaos = I choose hope!

The command: Rejoice in the Lord -- Philippians 3:1

The warning: Beware of false teachers -- Philippians 3:2

3 Vital Takeaways

  1. Whatever we put our HOPE in will determine what we WORSHIP.
  2. False HOPE always ends in either PRIDE or DESPAIR. 1 Timothy 6:17
  3. True HOPE is rooted in RELATIONSHIP and results in JOY and ENDURANCE. Romans 5:1-5
