The word “hope” in English typically expresses a desire for something good to happen; it carries an element of uncertainty. But in the Bible, hope is a confident expectation that something good will indeed happen—a future-oriented trust. Our hope as a church family is in Jesus Christ, our risen Savior and coming King. Our name reminds us that God has promised all who trust in His Son a future that is certain and precious because we will experience perfect fellowship with Him. “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him’” (Lam 3:21–24).
