Where is Your Hope?
Ruth 2:17-23 Do you realize according to the worlds standards we live in a hopeless world! Let me explain • Approximately 23 million Americans claim to suffer from anxiety disorder • 17.5 million Struggle with clinical depression • 530,000 actually attempt suicide • Airline passengers worry about the safety of their flights • Mourners grieve pessimistically at the loss of a loved one • Patients agonize over the dangers of surgery • Business people worry constantly about deadlines and decisions • Countless others endure daily feelings of fear and hopelessness It’s no wonder we have so many suicides, depression, stress and worry in our country.This list isn’t just affecting the secular world! • In fact 62 % of evangelical Christians are concerned about the future • 20 % are searching for meaning and purpose in life • Sickness, suffering and doubt are affecting the Church of Jesus Christ more than ever! Why? Many are following the worldly minded down a hopeless path. Whe
