Pastor Joel launches our new series Hope—His Name Is Jesus. Without Jesus our ability to hope is limited to our past experiences and our current circumstance. With Jesus everything changes, He is the light (Hope) of the world, if we follow Him we won’t have to walk in darkness (Hopelessness), John 8:12. Jesus gives us the ability to keep on hoping in faith despite what life throws at us. Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1
