Welcome to our third week of our Love Always series. 1 Corinthians 13:7 ("Love always hopes") is our basis to show how hope is a key part of love. It offers a contrast of worldly hope, or wishful thinking. It also presents Biblical hope, which is confident expectation in God's faithfulness. This core message of Biblical hope, fueled by love, empowers us to overcome circumstances instead of being dragged down by them. Many point to Isaiah 40:31, stressing that all who hope in the Lord will have completely renewed strength. Today's message delivers an emphatic warning against "hope killers," incorporating total forgetfulness, devastating negativity, deep apathy, along with a total lack of vision. Sufficient practical application is then encouraged through complete gratitude, total obedience, and firm faith, practices suggested as certain ways to cultivate overall hope and experience the entirety of love.
