Going into Thanksgiving with Our Only True Hope
This is a message for Christians disheartened by the 22 Midterm elections. There is no better time than Thanksgiving approaching to remind us of where our only true hope lies. Having worked in politics at the White House, I can tell you what I found out – it’s never been Washington where your answers will be found. It’s in Jesus. If your expectations were set on God fixing things with the elections, maybe it’s time to shift your focus.
Maybe He wants to do something different in you, to take you deeper – or, take others deeper with Him. We don’t know His plans. We just have to trust that they are good, and greater than anything we could imagine, or even the enemy could plan.
Watch or listen this week as we study why Christ in us is the hope of glory, how Jonah lived a lesson we can learn from, and a little bit of history – to learn what you may have in common with those who were at the first Thanksgiving.
Resources/Show Notes
- The book I shared about the first Thanksgiving, “What Were They Thinking: On Truth, Liberty & Legacy,” by Carol Sewell.
- I referenced Chuck Swindoll’s description of the Book of Colossians.
- I mentioned this video of Satanists performing unbaptisms for $10 bucks and Marcus Rogers commenting on it. It’s insane.
