The Importance of Hope - a podcast by Pastor Brad Morgan

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad's Message is "The Importance of Hope."

In Luke Chapter 15, the father was looking for the son before he ever came home. The father had hope.

Pastor Brad recounts the story of the pordigal son and his relationship with the father. His provision was not tied to the world, but his relationship with the father - his earthly father and the Heavenly Father.

John 1:12 says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." To become a son of God is something that happens on the inside through the Holy Spirit.

We need to have a heart of compassion for sons and daughters. Compassion will propel you into action. The father, when he saw his son, gave him a ring, put on the best robe and killed the fattest calf. The father was glad that his son was alive again ... "he was lost and is found."

The other son was disappointed, (by the work of the devil), but his father reassured him. The father said, "you were always with me and all that I have is yours."

Remember that hope is confident expectation of good, it is based on solid certainty, not wishful thinking. Hope is also truth of the word of God.

Scripture says we can build on three thing: faith, hope and love. In a foundation of hope we can see God move in our lives and do different things. Live your life with expectation.
