Oftentimes, it is not until we come to the end of ourselves that we can truly see the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. It is in His strength that we find everything we need to move forward.

It is in Him we find HOPE no matter what is taking place around us or within us. Christ is our constant. He is our Hope in the Hard.

What does it look like to have hope in hard things? What does it look like to cling to hope in a year that may or may not have yielded all that you wanted?

Take 15 minutes to pause and settle into this encouraging devotional message of hope from our dear friend, Leo Ayala. (Leo will be a general session speaker at CPC23!)
