Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

A Living Hope, Part 2

July 25, 2024

In practice, hope orients our lives around a better future. That is not to be escapist about the present but because there is a better future.  And whatever we are going through now, there is a better future ultimately that we are going to experience and enjoy.

In this message, Charles Price looks at the hope of heaven and what we know about it—the place, permanence, and perfection of heaven in the little revealed about it in Scripture.

References: 1 Peter 1:3-5

Faith in Hebrews 11 is in a God who exists, who rewards those who seek him, and who brings things out of nothing. In Charles Price’s message we find examples of people in overwhelmingly difficult situations experiencing the sufficiency of God.

By the time he was in his 20s, Joseph had suffered enough discouragement to last a lifetime. He was mistreated by his brothers, unjustly condemned by his employer, and forgotten by his friend. But he didn’t abandon his principles or his faith in God. How he coped is enlightening for all who are discouraged.

Are you discouraged by unfulfilled hopes or a dream that seemingly has died? You are not alone. Disappointment can drag us down and sometimes leave us feeling hopeless. Don’t give up. God knows exactly when and how to intervene. His timing is perfect. Citing the story of Esther in the Bible, Jill shows us that if God has a mission for you, he will equip you for it. It’s okay to be scared as you take the first steps to accomplish the goal, trusting that God is alongside you.

Haggai delivered a prophetic message to the despondent, dispirited, and distracted people, temporarily reviving their hopes. But discouragement set in less than a month after the returned exiles had been motivated and mobilized to embark on a Temple rebuilding project. Haggai was called again to deliver the "word of the Lord," this time with powerful words of encouragement. God has projects for us, too, and by relying on His strength and the "power of his might," we can have inner assurance that He is with us as we move ahead.

When trials and suffering come, where do we turn? We ought to turn to God—the God of all comfort. Suffering in this life is inevitable. David knew that. He wrote some of his psalms about it. But he wrote with the knowledge that God’s love brings comfort, encouragement, freshness, and life to those who seek Him. In this message, Jill points us to the many resources for encouragement that God has given us: His Holy Spirit, His word, and His people. God asks us to bring encouragement to those around us.
