In this second talk in our Enduring Virtues series, James unpacks the virtue of hope—not as fleeting optimism, but as a deep, confident trust grounded in the eternal promises of God.

Drawing from Ephesians 1, we discover that true hope isn’t something we generate; it’s something God gives. It begins with the Father’s choosing, is secured through the Son’s redemption, and is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit’s presence.

We’ll explore three key questions:
1️⃣ What is Christian hope?
2️⃣ How do we receive it?
3️⃣ How can we grow in it?

In a world that often places hope in the temporary, this message reminds us that only God Himself is our lasting anchor—and that’s a hope worth building your life on.

Key passage: Ephesians 1:4–14
Big Idea: True hope begins and ends with God—and transforms how we live today.

In a world where "your truth" often overshadows the truth, how can we live with honesty, humility, and hope? In this second talk of the "Living Truthfully in a Post-Truth World" series, Lionel Windsor explores the cultural shift from objective truth to personal narratives—highlighting high-profile examples like Oprah, Meghan, and Harry—and contrasts it with the liberating truth found in Jesus.

Through John’s Gospel and the letter of 1 John, we discover that Jesus is not just a comforting presence, but the truth that exposes, forgives, and ultimately frees us. This talk invites listeners to face the truth about ourselves—not with fear, but with the confidence that comes from Christ’s love and grace.

Key themes:

• The cultural power and danger of “your truth”

• Jesus as objective truth and light

• Freedom through confession and repentance

• Living a truthful life in an age of self-deception

🎧 Whether you're wrestling with doubts, seeking clarity, or just curious about Christianity’s take on truth—this episode offers both challenge and comfort in equal measure.

In a world where truth feels increasingly fragile—where spin, emotion, and power often trump facts—what does it mean to follow Jesus, who claimed to be the Truth? In this opening talk of the Living Truthfully series, Lionel Windsor explores how Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate—the archetypal post-truth politician—and why his response still matters today. This message calls us to anchor our trust not in fleeting headlines or manipulated narratives, but in the risen Christ who brings lasting truth and life.
