Hope Has A Name
In a time when even the world is desperate for some type of assurance or security, we as believers have an answer to the question, "Where do you put your hope?” However, we know hope is not a place or a thing, but a person. In fact, hope has a name and that name is Jesus Christ. Paul, in his first letter to Timothy, starts his address by declaring that Christ Jesus is our hope. When everything else the world clings to fades away, we will have the hope of our Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection as our anchor. But this idea is not just for us. There are so many people who are so far from hope that they couldn’t even begin to know how to describe it or what they should call it. 1 Peter 3:15 says “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have…” There are those around us yearning to know the name of hope and it is our charge to introduce them! Join us in Jacksonville Florida (July 12th-18th) for Life Training 2026 where we will come together to learn how to prepare ourselves for that introduction - first for ourselves and then for the world.

DETAILS
Like an expert gardener, God is doing a masterful work of cultivating life in the hearts of those who lovingly follow His Son. He longs for us to be intimately and intricately connected with Jesus, our “true vine,” so that we can walk closely with Him and demonstrate His lovingkindness to one another and to the world around us.
As we continue to pursue God by faith, we believe that He wants to teach us how to dwell in good things; prepare our hearts to receive His instruction and embrace His mission; and work through us to see His glory reflected in our lives.​
