Be Not Afraid

People talk a lot about “giving up their troubles to God,” and that is exactly what Mary did. Her example gives us reason to hope.
Luke tells us, “In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph…” The virgin’s nam… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/be-not-afraid/

What Are The Odds?

We are continuously reminded of our hope in Christ, whose love for us is reflected as the good in each of us.
Being a lawyer can be stressful. In the course of representing someone, there are plenty of “bad things” that can happen. Twenty-five years ago, when I was considered a “young”… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/what-are-the-odds/

Hope in the Midst of Tragedy

We become united when we see one person, or many people, suffering. In that unity, we seek God and we find hope.
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) A few nights … http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/hope-in-the-midst-tragedy/

Hope is Music to My Ears

There is no question that music plays a role in our worship of God – and for many it's their most powerful feeling of connection.

The Hope to Come

We should not let our past cloud the present, nor our future, as we seek new ways to serve Christ.
Do you feel like the world is going to hell in a handbasket? Do you shake your head at the actions of generations younger than you? Are today’s music or television shows trash … http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/the-hope-to-come/

Optimism or Hope?

What does hope mean for the long haul?
I think a long-term commitment to love and justice (not to mention sanity) hangs in the balance between which one we choose – optimism or hope. My understanding of optimism i… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/optimism-or-hope/

Advent Devotional: Christmas Eve

Glory to God in the highest! God is born in human flesh. The world will never again be the same.

In times like these, people may be thinking about the passage that occurs three times in the Old Testament, "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." These words were give… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/hate-wont-win/

Prisoner of Hope

We may give up on hope, but hope has not given up on us.

What is the New Normal?

What’s your normal during the post-Easter time? Are you still waiting?
