Is it naïve to live with high hopes? Or is it the key to lasting joy?In a world that tells us to lower our expectations to avoid disappointment, Jesus invites us to do the opposite. He calls us to a hope so strong, so certain, that it actually reaches into the future and pulls joy back into the present.This Sunday at Creekside, we’ll explore how biblical hope isn’t about wishful thinking or escapism—it’s about living with confidence that the best is yet to come.We’ll see from Isaiah 65, Romans 8, and Revelation 21 that our ultimate hope isn’t floating in the clouds—it’s life on a renewed earth, in restored bodies, with Jesus forever. And that kind of hope changes everything.What if you didn’t have to frantically chase experiences before you die?What if joy now came not from checking off a bucket list—but from trusting the One who’s promised you eternity?Whether you're burdened, burned out, or just longing for something more, this message will point you to a hope big enough to carry you through.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us financially, go to www.creekside.cc
