A New Message for Feast
During my time in Israel, I learned and experienced many things that have marked my life and faith. I literally think of my life in terms of before Israel and after Israel. One of the most meaningful things I learned is about the Hebrew language is that context becomes key to understanding the meaning of the words.
HOPE is one of those words that found me in Israel, and it was the word that carried me for all of 2025 as I lost my mother and my 16-year old dog named Chester. The grief remains, but it is bathed in biblical HOPE. HOPE will be our focus and theme this weekend. What is biblical hope? Is it an emotion? Is it passive or active? Is hope found in the light, or is it located in the darkness?
We have said 'no' to everything else to say 'yes' to the living God and to one another in being here right now. Posture yourself to receive. You are getting ready to meet the living God and Jesus IN biblical hope.

Lifeway has a solid reputation of providing high quality products and working with a diverse group of speakers and authors. Having completed both Jesus and Women and The Gospel on the Ground, I knew my time was safe with Kristi McLelland and Lifeway.
