Bright Hope for Tomorrow

Description

This is no ordinary hope. This hope can transform us fully when we learn to see it correctly.

Christ is risen, and Christ will come again. That is the hope that fueled the lives of Jesus' disciples and the momentum of the early church. The hope of seeing their risen Lord face-to-face powered their endurance through persecution, their patience in discipling new believers, and their courage to renounce injustice and sinful passions.

Learning to renew our hope in Jesus' actual, promised return trains us to live differently and see the world with different eyes. What if we could hold that hope closer to us intellectually and emotionally?

In Bright Hope for Tomorrow, pastor Chris Davis will help you see the Second Coming in a fresh way that recaptures your spiritual imagination, strengthens your discipleship, and recovers your theology from the confusion and controversy caused by end-times studies.

This book is a journey into the heart of Christianity's eschatological anticipation that will help you:

• Explore the return of Jesus in the terms of the New Testament letters.
• Get a better, more biblical picture of what we will see when we behold Christ at his appearing.
• Develop rhythms and practices necessary to maintain your expectancy (including gathering, fasting, and resting).

Rediscover the true heights of the hope we have in Christ—a fresh hope that can drive our daily responses to temptation, affliction, discouragement, and life in a broken world.
