The Christian Virtue of Hope
August 17, 2025
If you don't exercise, your muscles atrophy and become weak. It is the same in the Christian life. We often think about exericising our faith, but we also need to exericise our hope in Christ. Fyodor Dostoevsky once said, "Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is [filled with] hopelessness." This Sunday we will consider together the vital importance of the Christian hope we have as a gift of God's grace in Christ and our responsibility to exericse it, just like our faith.
