There is a distinct difference between a living biblical hope and a worldly hope. One is certain, while the other is just wishful thinking. Sadly, many approach eternal matters with wishful thinking. But this living hope... It changes everything! It changes our perspective. It provides endurance. I offers security. If you have this living hope, may you be encouraged today. If you do not have it, find out more at www.wpaptist.church

Continuing our study in Philippians, we are challenged to follow good examples (makes sense), avoid bad examples (got it) and live like we are citizens of Heaven.
