Everybody's Watching: Where Is Hope?

Week 1 of the series "Everybody's Watching" from Faith Community Church. The series starts with the question, "How do I find that hope?" In 2014, movies and TV shows about hope - the loss of it - gained prominent attention. In The Walking Dead, humans are constantly pursuing hope (healing, safety, community) only to have it ripped away from them. In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, champions are placed in an arena where they must fight to the death until one victor remains. Friendships can't be trusted and the environment is a trap meant to destroy them. If the world is treacherous and people can't be trusted, where do I find hope? The Bible presents hope as the inspiration we find from the promises of God backed by the power of God to fulfill them. Of His many promises, the most relevant here is the hope that God is completely trustworthy, nothing can seperate us from Him and the future He has promised is beautiful.
