Summary
As we continue our week on living for heaven, today we look at the concept of hope. Hope is a necessity in this day, and God wants to restore your sense of hope and give you a fresh dose today. May the hope of eternal life be an anchor for you all of your days.
Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 15:13, and today's worship is Living Hope by Phil Wickham.
