In a world full of darkness and despair, disease and death, devastation and destruction, it is easy to lose hope. Friends get cancer, young people die, futures are destroyed with financial meltdowns, families are decimated by divorce, adultery, affairs, pornography, abuse, etc. Living in that reality makes it easy to become hopeless. But as Paul explained what would happen to those who died before Christ’s return, he made clear that not even death can separate us from God’s future plans and that we “will be with the Lord forever”. So listen to this week as Pastor Eric brings a message of hope.
