Good morning. Over the last couple of weeks, we have been briefly exploring the idea of Hope in Crises. We have said that hope is eagerly expecting something in the future, while crisis is our present reality, the situation we find ourselves in in the present moment. Do we have hope? Is there something better ahead of us?

The scripture is clear that Jesus Christ is indeed hope. Today, we examine the story of David and Goliath found in 1 Samuel 17.

Good morning. Today, we wish to speak about "The Crisis Within and The Hope of Victory". Does the believer, or Child of God, face crisis within? If so, how will this crisis be resolved? Is there hope for the struggler?

Good morning. We began our study last week, exploring the subject of "Hope in Crises". Last week, we looked at the definition for Hope and how the Bible identifies the believers' hope as being "In Christ", not just in this world, but in and for the future. Today, we will explore "The Crisis in Creation" and the hope made available through Jesus Christ.

Good morning. Our study this month covers the idea of "Hope in the Times of Crises". In this study, we will consider a definition and a biblical position on Hope. We will also consider a definition of crisis; an exploration of crisis in creation, and a biblical response; an exploration of crisis in general and a believer's response. We will end the series with an exploration of crisis within and a recovery plan.

Today, we speak about hope as used in the New Testament, meaning a favourable and confident expectation.

Maranatha. We have come to the last sermon in our series on The Wonderful Anticipation: The Posture of the Church towards the Second Coming of Christ Jesus".The topics we have covered are: (1) The Believers' Waiting, (2) The Believers' Watch, and (3) The Believers' Walk. We therefore close with The Believers' Work until the Son of Man puts in His appearance.

Matthew 24 and 25 address Jesus' teaching on His return. He speaks about the unpredictability of His return in Matthew 24:43, but affirms the certainty in Matthew 24:42. Angels make the same point in Acts 1:11. Each passage referenced has two things in common: the assured declaration of Jesus' return and the believers' response to the assurance of this return.

I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ. It is with great joy and anticipation that we await the glorious return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As we journey in this series on the theme, Joyful Anticipation - The Posture of the Church Towards The Second Coming of Christ Jesus, so far we have covered The Believers' Waiting and The Believers' Watch. Today, we discuss The Believers' Walk, a look at the Christians' sanctification in light of our Lord's return.

Good morning again, everyone, and Maranatha. Today, we continue the series themed "Joyful Anticipation, The Posture of the Church towards the Second Coming of Christ Jesus". I intend to address this as follows: (1) The Believers' Waiting - A Look on Our Blessed Hope, (2) The Believers' Walk - Our Sanctification, (3) The Believers' Work - Our Acts of Service, and (4) The Believers' Watch - Our Steadfastness Until the Lord Returns. Today, let us consider The Believer's Watch.

Whenever we start our discussions on the Lord's return, some will always say they have been hearing this for a very long time, indicating the long delay in His coming. Mathew's Gospel deals with the delay of the parousia in two ways: the first is a warning to be watchful, and the second is a warning about preparedness.

It is a travesty to know that what the Lord has intended to serve as the believers' hope and comfort has become their despair and distress. Far too many believers do not read or study the teachings of the Second Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. His Second Coming was always intended to bring joy and hope for Christians of all ages.

Good morning, everyone, and Maranatha. This series is titled "Joyful Anticipation, The Posture of the Church towards the Second Coming of Jesus". I intend to address this as follows: (1) The Believers' Waiting - A Look on Our Blessed Hope, (2) The Believers' Walk - Our Sanctification, (3) The Believers' Work - Our Acts of Service, and (4) The Believers' Watch - Our Steadfastness Until the Lord Returns. Today, let us consider Our Blessed Hope.
