Hold On To Hope

What are you holding on to — and is it actually holding you up? In this preach, we explore one of the most honest questions we can ask ourselves: where is my hope, and what am I building my life on? Using the metaphor of grip strength, this message unpacks why we so easily cling to money, success, relationships, and achievement, and why those things always fall short. Drawing from Matthew 6, we look at what Jesus says about earthly treasures versus heavenly ones, and why hope in him changes absolutely everything. This sermon was preached during a baby dedication service, making it deeply personal, touching on parenting, identity, purpose, fear, and the longing we all carry for something more lasting. Whether you're a committed Christian wanting to go deeper, someone who's been burned by putting hope in the wrong things, or simply curious about what the Bible says about meaning and purpose, this message is for you. You'll be encouraged to ask: What do I need to let go of? And what would change if I held on to hope instead? Key Scripture: Matthew 6:19-34
