Bright Hope for TomorrowSeries: Haggai: The God Who Restores Preacher: David CourtSunday EveningDate: 28th June 2026Passage: Haggai 2:20-23

Tim Sheppard - What kind of tale are we in - happy ending or sad ending? It can be hard to keep going when we're not sure what the future will be like, but the final chapters of Daniel show us that while the future may be concerning, God has promised a glorious crown in the end. We can stand firm and speak for Jesus, confident of resurrection glory to come.

This week we will hear the comforting and mobilizing message of Revelation through the seven promises of blessing in the book (1:3, 14:12–13, 16:13–15, 19:7–9, 20:6, 22:7, and 22:14). These seven "Blessed" promises are meant to give churches like ours encouragement to hear God's Word, courage to persevere, and hope of seeing Christ. May the message of this book give us "strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow."

In this week's sermon, we see how God tested Abraham's obedience and faithfulness by commanding him to take Isaac to the land of Moriah, build an altar, and bind and sacrifice him as a burnt offering. Abraham obeys. At the last moment, an angel of the Lord stops him from killing Isaac. When Abraham proves his faithfulness, the Lord spares Isaac and provides a substitute sacrifice. The Lord then confirms the covenant He had previously made with Abraham.

The Cipher Brief made its first reporting trip to Ukraine in February of 2022.  That's when we first met Tymofiy Mylovanov, the President of the Kyiv School of Economics. When we sat down with him then, Ukraine was preparing to mark one year since Russia's brutal invasion. Mylovanov was sober at the time about what it would take to win the war and rebuild the country.  Just over a year later, with an aid package that has been held up for months in Washington - I sat down with him again to talk about what it will take to rebuild Ukraine even as the war rages on - and why he still has hope even amid the challenges – for what lies ahead.

Is there any point to my suffering and any hope for change?Though it's easy for our overwhelming pain to cloud our view of reality, the truth is that, even though we can't see it or feel it, God is at work in the darkness. Our Creator is in the business of bringing dead—and nearly dead—things to life.Even now, no matter how fresh your wounds might be, he invites you to unearth his hidden treasures in your hurting, to reframe your darkness as a sacred space in which the light of hope can shine most brilliantly.

The Christian businessman and author Max De Pree wrote, "The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality." Jesus, the ultimate leader, is the author and perfecter of our faith. This means that Jesus is the leader who defines the fulness of reality. As we bid farewell  to 2023 and look forward to 2024, the key word as a church family is hope. Because Jesus is King, our reality is one of hope. Luke 7 captures an amazing interaction between Jesus and people who were once hopeless. Let this story bring hope into the dark places of your life.

Chris Davis is the pastor of Groveton Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia and the author of the new book Bright Hope for Tomorrow: How Anticipating Jesus' Return Gives Strength for Today. Hope is fuel. For Jesus' disciples, the hope of seeing their risen Lord again, face to face, powered their endurance through persecution, their patience in discipling new believers, and their courage to renounce injustice and sinful passions.But have we set aside that fuel because the topic of Jesus' return is mired in confusion and controversy? Many Christians have lost or overlooked the importance of the Lord's appearing, resulting in a sluggish, ineffective faith.What if there is a way to recapture spiritual momentum? What if we could tap into the apostles' longing to simply be in the presence of the resurrected Christ without getting entangled in date-setting or disagreements about the Millennium? And what if this fresh hope could drive our daily responses to temptation, affliction, discouragement, and life in a broken world?In Bright Hope for Tomorrow, pastor Chris Davis points the way forward. Exploring the return of Jesus on the terms of the New Testament letters, this book looks at portraits of Jesus' appearing, rhythms necessary to maintain expectancy (including gathering, fasting, and resting), and the practical transformation such anticipation effects. Bright Hope for Tomorrow is not the next new thing. Rather, it is a recovery of what has been lost by end-times studies that have veered into peripheral concerns. Join this return to the gospel center: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Howdy pardners and pardnettes, it's time to join the rodeo and review Bone Tomahawk. It's going to be a rootin tootin good time. https://youtu.be/VHDyu1o2nAg Artwork by Dustin Goebel. Follow @dgoebel00 on instagram. Synopsis In the sleepy old west town of Bright Hope, it is anything but, as the town doctor is kidnapped by a band of indigenous cave dwellers that even the (other?) Native Americans think are savages. Kurt Russel's Sherriff Hunt leads a band of men on a rescue mission made up of his elderly assistant deputy played by Richard Jenkins, the arrogant Gunslinger Brooder played by Mathew Fox, and The doctor's lame husband played by Patrick Wilson. Actually lame, his leg is broke. He's actually a pretty cool dude. They make their way through the frontier to find the territory of the Troglodytes, and find out that the stories of their savagery are if anything underselling it.  https://youtu.be/0ZbwtHi-KSE Review of Bone Tomahawk This film is one of a few in the genre of Western Horror, and few if any reach the quality of this film.  The film is effective in it's simplicity. It's a rescue mission ala The Searchers. You have the set of archetypal characters that are thrown together by situation and duty, and several dilemmas and power struggles along the journey to find the location of the savages. Bone Tomahawk Poster When they get to the Troglodyte Territory, the tone takes a sharp turn into straight up torture porn horror.  The mission goes from the guys in white hats will surely win, to oh no… oh nonono.  While the first half of the movie drags a little, I think it's necessary to set up the characters and give contrast to the horror at the end of the film. One scene in particular stands out so much that it's basically become a meme as “that scene” in Bone Tomahawk. For good reason. It will stick with you, and if you are a man, you will especially feels something. Score 8/10 Bone Tomahawk Add it to your collection or rent it now.Click here to buy
