A Place of Hope (4 of 5)
Series: Missing in Action: God's Church in the Real World
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Romans 15:13
What do you think of when you think of the word hopeless, hopeless, where a person tells you, "This situation in my life is hopelesses, hopeless; not one shred of hope?" Did you know lots of people live in a state of hopelessness? It's horrible and it's awful. Bernard Baruch, the financier of the early and middle 1900s, he was called "The Lone Wolf on Wall Street."
