This week our Bible Study topic is Bubbling Over with Hope. As a Christian, our hope is a “confident expectancy” in all that God can do. Christian hope is not just wishful thinking, but reflects faith in God’s power, righteousness and grace. Because we believe in a powerful, all-knowing, graceful and loving God, we can have a hope that culminates in love, joy and peace. Over the next week we will explore the basis for our hope and how we can trust in the plans God has for our lives.

Hope is a powerful “tool” in accepting and living with a life-threatening diagnosis and facing each day with a positive attitude. Knowing that Christ is with you every step of the journey strengthens our faith and renews our hope.
I agree Ruth. There are so many examples, as well as documented evidence, that hope can have a real impact in recovering from life threatening disease. With God, all things are possible!
