GOT HOPE?

"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the LORD." Psalm 27: 13-14

Hope. It is such a powerful thing. Without hope, people dry up and die. But with hope, people flourish, even in the worst of circumstances.

The students at P.S. 121 Elementary School in East Harlem were kids without much hope. Their home lives were difficult at best, and the statistics showed that 75% of them would never even finish high school.

In 1981, millionaire Eugene Land went to that school, his alma mater 50 years previous, to speak to the 6th grade class. His prepared speech was a challenge to the kids to work hard and get an education, but he sensed that challenge would merely be empty words to those who had no hope. So at the last minute, he changed his speech and told the 59 youngsters in the class, “Stay in school … and I’ll help pay the college tuition for every one of you.”

At that moment, hope was born in their hearts. One student said, “I had something to look forward to, something waiting for me. It was a golden feeling.” Nearly 90 percent of that class went on to graduate from high school. Roughly 60% of them graduated from college. Wow!

What made the difference? Hope!

THE GOD OF HOPE

In the Bible, God is called, “The God of hope” (Rom. 15:13). No matter how bleak and black the circumstances, He can turn it all around in an instant and give beauty for ashes. King David knew this to be true; and used that truth to conquer the stifling feelings of depression and despair.

Are you struggling today? Are the problems of life sinking your ship? Is the candle of hope beginning to dim against the dark backdrop of your current reality? Are you losing hope for a spiritual breakthrough, a better marriage, a fulfilling job, a happy family, or a brighter tomorrow?

Get your eyes off your problems and put them on the God of hope. The goodness of the LORD is right around the corner for you. Don’t throw in the towel because your deliverance hasn’t yet arrived. Wait on Him with confident expectation (the meaning of the word hope). He is never late and never in a hurry. He is always right on time, and He has a miracle with your name on it.

So hope in Him!

Love,

Pastor Jeff Schreve,

About Dr. Jeff Schreve

Jeff's life has been radically changed by Jesus Christ.
Growing up in a church-going home, Jeff learned a lot about God, but he did not know God. He believed in Jesus in the same way he believed in George Washington: he knew Jesus was real, but had not personally met Him. All this changed one night after a Young Life meeting when he was alone in his bedroom. There Jeff saw his need for Christ and His forgiveness and surrendered his life to Jesus.

As a student at the University of Texas, Jeff grew in his Christian life. He graduated with a degree in business and moved back home to Houston, Texas to start a career in business. There he met his future wife, Debbie, at a single's group meeting at Champion Forest Baptist Church. They were married in 1986 and have been blessed with a wonderful relationship and three awesome daughters and two beautiful grandchildren.

A New Direction
After spending 13 years as a chemical salesman, God called Dr. Schreve to preach. He left his secure position and moved his family to North Carolina to attend Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. It was a scary and difficult move to make ... but it was one of the best decisions they have ever made. One year later, God called them to serve on staff at Champion Forest Baptist Church. In 2000, he completed his Master of Divinity degree graduating from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He graduated with a Doctor of Ministry degree in 2014 from Southeastern Seminary.

Jeff Schreve has been the senior Pastor of First Baptist Texarkana in 2003, a growing and exciting church with 4500+ members.
