Hope is on the Horizon
As we prepare our hearts to celebrate Easter, we were moved by a compelling video from Saddleback Church. Enjoy the short message that touches on the conflict we face and the bigger picture of hope amidst it all…
“Nature appreciates her struggles. All her ways of conflict, work and rest divulge a character of determination, of happiness…
…we know we should rejoice and want to, but we often find ourselves powerless to do so.
But to rejoice in the Lord gives us new purpose…
…hope comes to the rescue, and hope is not a daydream. But a prophecy, a strength, with power for its own fulfillment.
We must remember the cross…
…we must witness God’s opinion of us and see what He means us to be. And what we were intended to be.
If we can do just that, we will be compelled to rejoice in hope. We will celebrate the sun breaking over the horizon.”
And so this Easter we take to heart the cross, the extreme sacrifice made and we rejoice with the hope that is found in Him.
Know that all of us at RISE are behind you and honored we can share this journey with you. Our prayer for this Easter comes from Romans 15:13…
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Happy Easter!
