39. Hope as Sweet as Honey: A Saviour Who Won't Let You Down

What do you hope for? That’s the big question we’re diving into today! In this episode, we chat about the nature of hope—how it can lift us up or leave us feeling pretty dashed when things don’t go as planned. We explore the Israelites' hope in King Saul and how that hope quickly crumbles under pressure, revealing that sometimes our expectations can lead us astray. But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom! We also highlight God's unwavering faithfulness, showing us that even when our hopes are misplaced, He remains steadfast and true. So join Dave as he explores 1 Samuel 11-14, and see how Jonathon's faith in God gives him hope and courage, while Saul's Faithlessness drives him into fear.Find out more about Dave and the show at faithfulgod.net.Show your thanks and support for Dave and help other people hear Stories of a Faithful God by signing up for the monthly prayer letter and by becoming a regular financial supporter here.To ask a question, make a comment, give encouragement or invite Dave to speak, you can make contact here.If you have or know kids, be sure to check out Dave's other podcast, Stories of a Faithful God for Kids.The Christian Standard Bible.
