Our God is a God of hope. No matter what we are facing, we have an assurance that God will keep his promises. When we trust in God and live as he says, we can have overflowing hope, never-ending joy and peace, regardless of our circumstances.
The Self-Denial Appeal challenges us—as followers of Jesus—to apply this truth to our giving and, as we are generous to others, see God’s hope revealed in their lives and our own. This Self-Denial Appeal, you’re encouraged to seek God, place your trust in him and see hope revealed.
This year’s devotional readings have been prepared by Major Barbara Sampson. Each week, Barbara draws on Scripture and poetry to pose questions that help us reflect on the hope of God and encourage us to consider how we can live out our hope.
