Are you running a hope deficit? Financial pressures. Family drama. Failing health. Political disenfranchisement. Will things get better? The way you imagine your future is crucial. It reveals whether or not you have hope. And it reveals where your hope lies. Misplaced hope isn’t hope at all. Hope is necessary for our well-being. In 1 Peter, we find hope that endures through every trial and can’t be taken away. It’s the hope that lies at the center of Christian faith and life; hope that transforms the way we live today. Our hope is in a future inheritance hat is founded on God’s mercy, secured through Christ’s resurrection and kept by God’s power. Peter stated that the only goal that cannot be crushed by this fallen world is the living hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor Wallace lays out the ways a believer can find unspeakable joy in this kind of hope. Amen.

Happy Easter! In today’s message we visit Mary Magdalene, the most devoted of Jesus’ followers at His tomb, grieving her catastrophic loss, three days after His horrific death. Her heartache was inconsolable. Death had taken from Mary the most important person in her life; the person she had loved. She thought she would be visiting the place where Jesus’ lifeless body lay at rest. But the wonder, the mystery, the miracle of Easter is that it wasn’t there. The tomb was empty! The Easter story dares us to believe that a dead man didn’t stay dead, but instead, by the power and love of God, He was released from the tomb. And more than that, Easter declares that Jesus is still alive and present in the world even today and that Jesus always will be alive. And that Jesus wants us to live forever and ever with Him. Amen.

Scripture Text: Luke 19:37-40 NRSV

Today is Palm Sunday, which is the beginning of Holy Week, in which we commemorate the last week of the earthly life and ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today is called Palm Sunday because of the reference in John’s Gospel of the people of Jerusalem welcoming Jesus coming to their city by strewing palm branches on the road in front of His procession. The Gospel of Luke is able to convey to us through this travel narrative a sense of urgency and critical importance of becoming committed disciples of Jesus Christ and join following after Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Wallace challenges us to: 1) never criticize others for their praise; and 2) don’t stop praising God! Amen.
