Hope For Today Videos

It's Tuesday of Holy Week as we head towards Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Today we remember how when Jesus was at a dinner a woman of “ill repute” came with a very expensive bottle of perfume and poured the perfume on Jesus to express her love and gratitude to Him and to honour Him. that action means even more for all of us.

It's Monday of the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday called by many – Holy Week.  Every day is holy, actually.  Every day is a gift from God. So few people really recognized Jesus and gave thanks for who He was.  This week we want to take time to focus our attention on Him. 

On this Palm Sunday, as we prepare for Good Friday and Easter Sunday celebrations, let’s remind ourselves of God’s love for us expressed in the death and powerful resurrection of Jesus Christ as our Saviour.

Self-worth is the value we see in ourselves and our role in life. Some of us overrate ourselves and some of us undervalue ourselves according to our position in life.  What is the right approach to assessing our self-worth?

God wants to show us how to move past self-centered interest, that blocks friendship, to respectful attention to the interests of others that builds strong and mutually beneficial relationships.

We can know God's presence with us right now in whatever circumstances we are facing. God will give us strength to keep their eyes on You and what You promise and what You are doing for them.  Help them to not look too far ahead into an unknown future but to see Your goodness with them in this moment, in this day.

God knows that sooner or later we will all encounter grief and loss that comes from losing someone we love or facing a threat to our own lives. As usual, God is not a last minute God but rather one who prepares in advance and lets us in on everything we need to know so when the challenging times come, we are ready to face them.

The Lord is MY shepherd … that can make our hearts rejoice and put a smile on our face.  God isn’t just caring for a whole bunch of people and we’re somewhere in that herd. There’s something very personal that is alive in us when we affirm that The Lord is MY shepherd.

We all want to have a good life and we want to do good.  We want to see things change for the better in our families, our churches, and our communities. Well, God’s got just the plan we need.

The only place where any of us will be truly happy and contented is when we are living as God has created us to live and doing the things God has prepare in advance for us to do.

God is kind and good, and His love has no limit.  God pays attention to us when we are in trouble and He promises to rescue us. The great faith that we need to develop is to trust that “when the time is right” God’s help will be there for us.

When we are being taught something new, we often feel overwhelmed by the process we must follow. We may shy away from learning about something by telling ourselves or others, “I can’t” or, “This or that is impossible for me.” We need to remind ourselves that with time and determined effort we can succeed, as many before us have.
