A Hope and a Future: Live With Expectancy

by Jonathan Bernis

Overview

The Christian walk is more than salvation and the promise of eternal life. It is about abundant life as well. But many people live in a state of condemnation, disappointment, and rejection. They feel that because they have fallen back into old habits and sin God can no longer forgive them.
 
Genuine hope is not wishful thinking.
Through Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Bernis’ compelling teaching, Christians will better understand the specifics of God’s commitment to bring them through difficult times. They will see how God can deliver them out of the trials and tribulations of life, and help them to fulfill their ultimate destiny while on this earth.
 
Readers will learn:
·      How to fulfill their destiny and find their future
·      The real meaning of the Lord’s prosperity promise
·      How to live in confident expectancy for your future
·      How hope distinguishes the believer from the unbeliever
·              And much more!
