Podcasts about hope for the hopeless

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Ruth 1 opens in a time of rebellion, famine, and loss, but reveals a God who meets his people with unexpected grace and points us to the sacrificial love of Christ. This Advent message reminds us that even in seasons of sorrow, God is working to bring hope, redemption, and a future. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The arrival of Jesus, is the joyful proclamation that the Savior, Jesus, The Messiah, has come. God took on the flesh and came to us, so we might know him, love him, and be saved by him.  So that we might have an eternal hope, even in dark and difficult times.

Hope for the Hopeless Even Elijah—the man who called down fire from heaven—found himself under a juniper tree, ready to give up. But God met him there, not with thunder or fire, but with a whisper.There is courage for the discouraged.There is hope for the weary.And your best days… are still ahead.

Their lives have never been the same since.

Sometimes our pain comes from our own poor choices, and God uses that suffering to bring us back to Him. In this study of Psalm 38, Dr. John examines how David honestly faces the illness and isolation that followed his sin. Friends have abandoned him, enemies are circling, yet David shows the way forward: turn toward God instead of away, stay quiet under criticism, and simply confess without making excuses. This message brings hope to anyone feeling disgraced by their failures.Reasons for Worship: In a world of political turmoil, personal struggles, and the apparent prosperity of evil, where should believers place their trust? Dr. John's series on Psalms 33–41 called “Reasons for Worship” explores God's faithfulness amid life's challenges. From David's escapes to his reflections on the wicked, these psalms offer practical wisdom for trusting God, finding hope in desperate circumstances, and keeping faith when evil seems to prevail. This series brings both comfort and challenge, pointing to the God who is completely trustworthy in every season.

In today's message, we turn to Luke 15 to discover the heart of the Father for those who have wandered far from Him. No matter how deep the shame, how long the road, or how broken the life, His grace, mercy, and love are ready to meet us the moment we turn in repentance. And when even one sinner comes home, all of heaven erupts in rejoicing.

Hope for the Hopeless and Prayer for the Prayerless (Romans 8:26–30) - Dr. Bill Cook

How can you have hope for the future when literally everything seems hopeless? In this episode of Live the Bible, we peek inside the book of Lamentations. In this great little book, the prophet Jeremiah describes in graphic terms what he witnessed—the destruction of his country. The devastation caused a feeling of overwhelm. Of hopelessness.The good news for us? Our hope is based on the faithfulness of God—not on us. Support the show

In this life, you will suffer. It is not a matter of if, but when. As overwhelming as this can be, Peter reminds us that suffering is not strange to the way of Jesus, and we should not be surprised. Taking an honest look at suffering, Peter points us to its sanctifying effects and where we can find strength to endure.

Kyle Kauffman | May 11 2025 There are areas in our lives or the lives of others that may look or feel hopeless to us on the surface. We may struggle to believe that change is really possible or that things will ever get better. In Acts 12 we read of a time when things may have looked and felt hopeless to the early Christians in Jerusalem. We find God intervening in a powerful and amazing way to bring change. This story can help us in whatever areas we may struggle with hopelessness today by helping us to see that God hears and answers the prayers of his people. And it can help us to see that even when things may feel hopeless to us, God is still good and he can still be trusted.

After Jesus exercised His authority over the tumult of the wind and the waves of the sea (Mk 4:34–41), He then further shows His authority over the tumult of a man's life riddled with demonic oppression. The case of Christ's identity and authority is proven as “The Son of the Most High God” as He saves a man and commissions him against all odds to a life of gospel ministry.

How do we navigate seasons of hopelessness? What leads us from despair back to hope? This week, we'll journey with the writer of Lamentations as he cries out to God in a season of deep despair. Even in the darkest shadows, the light of hope begins to dawn.

As was revealed to Simeon in Luke 2, Jesus coming to us to live just like us brings the fullness of Hope to believers. Even when we don't have the answers for why things feel hopeless, we can know our Savior stood in the same, difficult circumstances we too stand in. Our God is one who knows our heartache and gives true Hope!
