Welcome to the Further Gospel podcast where we are all about providing sound doctrine

for every day people.

My name is Kosti Hin and I have the pleasure of being your host and on today's episode

I want to talk about things that break down our hope and things that build up our hope.

You can call this episode, hope breakers versus hope builders.

And for you, why is there so much hopelessness in the world today?

Pretty obvious answer, people don't know what true hope is all about.

But while it's easy to point out at the world and say, yeah, people don't have hope because

they don't know God, they're not Christians or they don't really know what true hope is

all about.

We throw out these phrases, how easy is it as Christians to forget what hope is all about

or when our hope breaks down?

We fail to quantify why is my hope breaking down and then how is my hope built up?

What should I be reminded of?

What do I need to remember in times like this and how can I encourage somebody else?

Who is a believer in Jesus Christ and says, my hope is just waning, it's fading.

None of us as Christians are immune to challenges that steal our hope.

I would call these things hope breakers because they break down our hope.

And before we know it, we find it hard to have joy, we find it hard to have peace.

We lose perspective.

Some of the most angry people you'll ever meet are actually expressing an emotion rooted

in hopelessness.
