Hope is not a “when,” a “how,” or a “where.” Hope is a “who.” The second coming of Christ is the great hope of the church. And while we wait for His return, we must learn to rest in that hope–regardless of personal circumstances or the world around us. It’s time to get off the rollercoaster of “right now” and live with the confident expectation of better days ahead. In the end, Christ’s victory is ours–and that powerful reality makes all the difference.

The Day of the Lord: Hope or No Hope? | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 | Hope Springs Eternal
First Thessalonians is sobering yet hopeful, warning us of judgement to come for unbelievers – but great hope for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Those far from the Lord will instantly awake to the totality of their reality error. But those who are alive in Christ will be rescued by the rapture to watch in safety from the balconies of Heaven.
Take time to learn (or be reminded of) these incredibly important truths in God’s Word about what is to come…
The Greatest Hope We Have | 1 Thessalonians 4 | Hope Springs Eternal
What Every Mother Wants | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 | Hope Springs Eternal
The older I get, the more I realize how little I knew when I knew it all.
Even in my pride, my mother’s example and wisdom continually guided me to make better choices and brought me closer to God. Kids will be blessed by their parents’ wise choices – and bent toward their parents’ bad choices.
Some facets of God’s design for women can apply for us all. Even the apostle Paul said, “I was like a nursing mother, taking care of her own children,” as he focused on the needs of the churches in a very personal way.
Take time to open your Bible and your heart to God’s Word for you in 1 Thessalonians 4.
