ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
March 23, 2025
Awakening hope? Especially in a time of difficulty, when hopelessness grips us, it can appear nearly impossible to imagine hope awakening within us or around us. Yet that’s the quirky nature of hope. God’s hope exists whether or not we see it. Whether or not we embrace it. It is there waiting for us, and sometimes it begins to awaken ever so slowly—little reminders; little visions that catch our attention; an ever so quiet voice that says, “Do not give up!”  For us to know hope, we must be intentional, and it begins with knowing God and trusting God. That’s what we will discuss this morning in worship.

Awaken some hope within me, O Source of Hope and Promise. Awaken me to that everlasting gift of hope, as you are everlasting. Amen.
