At some point in your life you will face a time when something seems hopeless.

A relationship goes south, a devastating financial setback, the loss of your health, something that just emotionally stops you in your tracks.

And when that happens, what do you do?

Today we'll see how Jesus offers hope when it seems all hope is God.

Stay with me.

Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge

with Chip Ingram.

The mission of these daily programs is to intentionally disciple Christians

through the Bible teaching of Chip Ingram. We'll stop for a minute and picture a

gauge, like one you'd use to check the air in your tires, but instead it measures anxiety. As you look around

your life and community, I imagine that gauge is running pretty high. So where can we turn

when our circumstances are utterly overwhelming?

For that answer, stick around for these last two programs in our series, Jesus Unfiltered.

Chip will show us the ways Jesus provided unexplainable hope for people in his day and how he's still doing that today.

So get at your Bibles and go to John Chapter 5 as we join Chip with his talk, Jesus offers hope to the hopeless.

I'd like to have you think just for a minute of maybe the last time in your life you felt literally hopeless.

Maybe it was a devastation of a relationship,

maybe it was a biopsy report,

maybe it was a biopsy report. Maybe as you walked into a room and walked out without a job

or lost your home,

or maybe someone walked out on you or you got that phone call 1.30 in the

morning and someone was in a car wreck. I mean when was the last time you were just absolutely sense that there is no way out of this?
