More Than Wishful Thinking
Christian hope is confident expectation grounded in the bodily resurrection of Jesus rather than a fragile wish for favorable circumstances.
The Knowing Series, Volume 04
Knowing Hope
Hope Endures. Holding Fast to the God Who Holds Tomorrow.
Craig Marvin Johnson
Tomorrow may be hidden, but it is never uncertain in the hands of God.
Learn to wait without surrendering confidence, endure what cannot yet be understood, and anchor tomorrow in the character of God.
Hope holds when the road ahead cannot yet be seen.
Seven movements
The journey through Knowing Hope.
Each movement opens Scripture, names a place of formation, and invites a faithful response.
The God of Hope
Hope grounds tomorrow in God's faithful character, enabling disciples to name their fears and return repeatedly to His promises.
Hope in the Waiting
Between promise and fulfillment, waiting becomes a place of honest prayer, worship, patient trust, and formation without pretending to know every reason for delay.
Hope in the Dark
Biblical hope makes room for grief, doubt, weakness, and lament while refusing to surrender the resurrection promise to despair.
The Anchor Holds
Hope is anchored in Christ's finished work and continuing intercession, giving pressured believers security from which to live faithfully.
A Living Hope
Because Jesus is risen, resurrection hope reshapes holiness, mission, courage, and everyday discipleship while creation still waits for complete renewal.
Until All Things Are New
Christ's promised return calls believers to endure, serve, and live faithfully today in anticipation of the renewal of all things.
