Are you looking for HOPE?

True HOPE is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ!

In Jesus HOPE gets personal- Bible Project video

1 Peter 1:3-9 gives us a wonderful promise of the Christ Follower’s HOPE- “3Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth and a living hope. This hope is living because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. 4 He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you.”

Do you want to grow in your HOPE?

HOPE grows when you spend time with Jesus by studying the Bible, learning from other Christ followers, and praying. Many of the volunteers at HOPE closet go to these Bible studies. We’d love for you to join us as we grow. too!

We encourage you to find a local Bible-believing church and start reading the book of John in the Bible- a little each day. Ask Jesus to show you Himself and meet you where you are in your need and brokenness. He is waiting for you to call out to Him, recognize your need for Him, and put your faith and HOPE in His free offer of salvation. He has already paid the price for our sins (selfishness and pride) by His perfect sacrificial death on the cross. It is up to us to confess and humble ourselves before his Lordship, as we await the blessed HOPE of Him coming for those of us who believe.

“When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:4
