The meaning of the word hope in our modern world is desiring something you do not really expect to receive. You might hear someone say, "I hope my favorite team wins the Super Bowl this year." In this sermon on the subject of hope, Mr. Smith shows us that in the Bible the meaning of hope is the opposite of the above meaning. The Bible shows us that we have hope for the tings promised in the bible because God is the one promising them to us.
