In this episode, we learn how to build a church on hope the way Jesus did—by cultivating purpose, humility, endurance, impact, and inspiration.
In our moments of frustration and failure, we need to turn to God and his Word to find the strength to keep going.
Through prayer, we can give God our stressed, afraid, and burdened hearts and find relief.
The church of the Bible was dynamic, powerful, and life-changing. So why has church attendance today been declining?
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
Even when we face the impossible, we can still have faith because God can do anything.
We need to evaluate how the pandemic has influenced the way we build relationships if we are going to move forward toward God's destiny for us and our friends.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
