For some, a new year brings the promise of a brand new start; for others, it only means that more trials suffering are just ahead. What we all need is real hope for the future—one that is more than just wishful thinking, but a confident expectation based on truth. In this sermon, pastor Matt preaches that Christians rejoice in hope of glory because of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The gospel of God is the promise that suffering and death will not have the final word.
