The Hanging on to Hope series
A series testifying to Christ’s hope in seasons of suffering and difficulty to encourage others in their journey of faith.

Life is a rollercoaster — full of up and downs. Most of the time, these ups and downs are just a part of the normal ebb and flow of life, minor aggravations along the journey. Sometimes, the downward trajectory of the rollercoaster derails us, and we’re stuck there, living amid difficulties we never saw coming.
As Christians, we are not exempt from suffering and pain. In fact, Jesus told us, “In this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33). What that trouble looks like, when it comes or how long it lasts are unknown.
How do we keep hanging on to hope when everywhere we turn seems hopeless or too hard to face? Is Christ even with us in our circumstances? What keeps us moving forward in the hope and holiness of Christ in these times?
