A Hope Transplant: The Essential Operation
How would you define hope? In what way would your definition apply to a local church? What if hope were missing from a congregation? Would anybody notice?

These passages of Scripture suggest several ingredients that must be present if hope is to remain a vital part of a church’s life.
The Enemy is Hard at Work
The enemy is hard at work and he’s alive and well in the Church, working hard to destroy the lives of Christians—particularly those in leadership.

Bravery is not just limited to war—daily life can be a battlefield. If you’re facing a tough situation requiring great courage don’t compromise on what you believe. The world needs people who are committed to standing alone for the truth.
Suffering is Temporal
Our confidence is in Christ, not ourselves. He is the One who calms our fears and gives us the courage we need in times of suffering.
