Hope

Advent begins with a sliver of light. Pastor Ben Young opens this Christmas season with a message on hope, drawn from 1 Peter 1:3 and Romans 15:13. Hope is not vague optimism. It is a living confidence rooted in the resurrection of Jesus. When life feels dark, God gives enough light for the next step. This message explores why hope matters, how God plants it in the human heart, and how Advent points us toward the first and second coming of Christ.
