  • The Thrill of Hope (Week 4): Hope Isn’t Lost

    The Thrill of Hope (Week 4): Hope Isn’t Lost
    Dec 23 2025

    When life turns out differently than we hoped, hope can feel fragile or even lost. This week, we look at Joseph’s story and discover that hope isn’t about getting the life we planned, but trusting that God is still present and at work in the life we didn’t. Even in disappointment, the thrill of hope is this: Emmanuel—God is with us.

  • The Thrill of Hope (Week 3): When Hope Feels Hard

    The Thrill of Hope (Week 3): When Hope Feels Hard
    Dec 14 2025

    Even the strongest believers (including John the Baptist) experience doubt and discouragement. This week we explore how God meets us in the struggle, and how patience, honesty, and bringing our questions into the light can steady our hearts. Hope doesn’t eliminate the waiting; it transforms it.

  • The Thrill of Hope (Week 2): Hope Starts Small

    The Thrill of Hope (Week 2): Hope Starts Small
    Dec 7 2025

    God’s renewal often begins not with dramatic change but with something small–like a shoot growing from a stump. Isaiah invites us to look for those tiny signs of new life, and John the Baptist calls us to “repent,” not in shame, but by waking up to God’s nearness and turning toward what God is already growing in us. This week, discover the small beginning God may be planting in you, and take one simple step to turn toward it.
