In a world filled with tears, tsunamis, and tragedies how can you offer hope to people who sometimes plunge into despair? And how do you keep living and ministering with a vibrant hope? In this week's sermon, Where Do We Find Hope?, Skye Jethani provides a masterful example of preaching "The Big Story" of hope that weaves its way from Genesis to Revelation. It's a great model of preaching on a huge theological theme and making it practical for your people. It also offers some fantastic illustrations.

This week we also feature:

• Featured Illustration: Famous Painting Pictures Human Folly
• Sermon Series: The Gospel in Genesis
• Video Illustration: New Year's Journey
