Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. Ephesians 2:12
When people are without hope, they focus on scraping through each day as it comes. Stuck in a cycle of survival they lack vision and a will to organise. Too often in the past Churchworld has offered hope limited to the after-life. God doesn’t set such limits. He offers hope to help (or save) people practically from this cycle of survival in this-life. How do we communicate this kind of hope?
