Hope For Today Videos

In every age there have been challenges to our sense of community. These days the great challenge seems to be devices and the isolation that was so increased during long months of pandemic restrictions and seems to have lingered these years later. We need each other.  We were made for each other.  It’s only with others that our daily living and service truly finds completeness. 

We have admitted that sometimes we got into trouble because we had been foolish. The next positive move we can take is to make a decision to turn our will and life over to the care of God.  When we call out to God, even if we are feeling confused by all that is happening, He hears us and helps us get the urgent help we need.

We need to let truth guide us and be careful about opinions we hold and for sure, about opinions we share with others. 

Whether it is governments or sports teams, businesses or individuals, we all want credit for good things and to blame others when things go wrong. But God turns things upside down. On which ever side of the “fame or blame” pendulum we find ourselves today, let’s trust God’s goodness to be all we need

Rebuilding - We all have our part to play but we know that ultimately God is the one who is at the foundation of it all.  Let's rebuild with God today.

Do we trust God’s ways for us to be good for us and to actually revive us when we are worn down and vulnerable? Are we willing to have God do things in our lives according to His knowledge, His Word, and with lovingkindness?

We are spiritual beings who have a soul and live in a body.  God created us to be complete only when we are filled with His life.  We can’t think and choose appropriately unless we have the life of God in us.

Can we make this commitment today? Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will trust that God is working all things for good in my life.

When we allow ourselves to be dominated by fear – fear of guilt, fear of embarrassment, fear of loneliness, fear of being overwhelmed – we are engaging in stinking thinking. How can we move beyond this?

Our words and actions are often the direct result of what we think and feel. If we want to speak and act well, we first need to think well.

We want to have joy but it seems to be fleeting. We have joy in how some problems work themselves out but then we are faced with lots of unfamiliar challenges that bring out our insecurities. How can we find and sustain joy no matter what?

There’s a deep longing for intimacy in human hearts - that desire for a close, familiar, protective, loving relationship between two persons. How can we best find and nurture that?
