11 Sep Hopes & Habits (Because you can’t have uphill hopes and downhill habits) Part 4

I could give you story after story of people here in this ministry where things looked absolutely hopeless and yet here they are, with both uphill hopes and uphill habits, and their lives are radically better!  

My Multi-Media Director here at Joy Church was an ex-drug addict who gave his life to Jesus here at Joy Church and now is one of the best Christians, husband, father and employee that you’d ever want to meet!

We have another woman at the church who was in a mental institution and now she is an ordained minister here at Joy Church and an outstanding wife of a doctor, and mother of two!  We had another drug user and runner who gave his life to Jesus 14 years ago at Joy Church and now has a Christian television show that goes into millions of homes every week!

This pastor who is ministering to you right now was an alcoholic checking ID’s at a bar 36 years ago!  If you only knew!  I believe if you’ll apply the teaching in this series on a daily basis, in a year…you won’t even recognize yourself!

Your Bible tells you in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”  God wants to give you a future and a hope.  What you may not realize is that God told the children of Israel this powerful verse right in the midst of Babylonian captivity because of their own sin!

I don’t care how far you’ve gone or how long you’ve been there…renew your hope!  Remember this:  One thing I discovered about yesterday is that it ended last night!  Renew your hope!

Join us over the next few weeks as we share from this powerful series…
