“Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.” These words flowed from the pen of Alexander Pope regarding the hope we have in God. It is so easy to have hope in Christ when all is well, but what about when things do not make sense, when suffering occurs, when hope runs dry due to circumstance? On this Mother's Day '12, Pastor Jack will share his experience in trusting Christ during a week when hope seems to run dry and God proves faithful as always.

Sometimes we pray, pray, pray and we cannot comprehend why it seems like God is not listening to us - maybe he's not! Are our prayers just a bunch of words or are the from a contrite heart because God is serious about our commitment to Him and our prayers must come from an obedient heart and an expectant faith. From Achan to Bartimaeus, to us today, we are reminded about the words shared with Solomon, "the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought."
