Hope For Today Videos

Pride is a very destructive character defect. It is evident in our lives in many ifferent ways. So, what might even a “one minute” pride inventory show in our lives today?

We take time each day to pray and ask God for various things.  What confidence do we have that it makes a difference? 

How can we find the strength we need to feel joy and enthusiasm to move forward and grow and thrive again? 

For anyone to maintain loyalty to another during good times and bad takes real courage and that’s what we pray to have today.

We’re considering today what it means to be loyal to someone.  No one is more loyal to us through the ups and downs of life than our Loving God.

We wants our minds to be developed so we know what is right and wrong, and know how to solve difficult problems.  This is what we are promised when we regularly read and apply the practical ideas we find in Proverbs.

When friends of Jesus saw Him regularly praying but didn’t know how to do it themselves they simply asked Him, “Lord teach us to pray.” I don’t know about you but I sometimes wonder what on earth I should pray for particular people.  That’s when I’m so glad we have “model prayers” in God’s Word that can serve us well. 

There’s no doubt that we need God’s help, and God promises to help us when we cry out to Him.

At various times throughout the year there are announcements on the media asking folks who can to donate blood and plasma because stocks at the blood bank are low.  God has a blood bank.  The beauty of this blood bank as compare to the one where you or I might donate, is that the donation is there for us to receive rather than something we need to contribute to.

January 6 - officially the last day of the Christmas season where we celebrate the Wise Men from the East following the light of a star until they came to the place where Jesus was.  The day is called The Epiphany – a time of becoming awake and aware of something life changing.

It is important that we not just know that it’s good to encourage one another but actually take action. 

Do you want a life that is long and prosperous?  I can’t imagine any of us answering, “No” to that question.  We might think we don’t know how to attain that kind of life even though we might desperately long for it.  Well, that question is asked in the Bible and God provides us with a clear answer.
