Hope Has a Name
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
Gabriel Podwika speaks at 07. 12. 2025There is so much despair in this world and people everywhere are searching for hope—a reason to keep moving forward. Yet this longing is nothing new. Since the earliest days of human history, people have looked for promises strong enough to hold on to, something that could carry them through life’s storms. Sailors facing terrifying waves fixed their eyes on the shore, trusting that even the faintest sign of land meant survival. One powerful example is the story of John Newton, later known as the author of Amazing Grace. Living an ungodly life as a slave trader, he found himself caught in a deadly storm that brought him face-to-face with death. In desperate fear he cried out to God, and the storm calmed. That moment changed his heart, and he devoted the rest of his life to serving God.Looking into the Bible, we see that from the birth of the Jewish nation there has always been a hope sustaining them—the ancient promise given to Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, David, and many others—that one day a Messiah would come and the Kingdom of God in its fullness would fill the Earth. This promise strengthened them for centuries, shaping their identity and their future. Many still hold to this hope today, not realizing that the promise has already been fulfilled: the Messiah has come. And this hope is no longer only for Israel but for all humanity. Christ came to Earth, died for our sins, our failures, and our brokenness, rose again, and promised that one day He and God the Father will return. This is a hope wide enough for the whole world. The Jewish King is the One who gives hope where none can be found, and countless testimonies across generations confirm it.May we never forget who the real hope of this world is.If you do not yet have this hope, speak to Jesus honestly. Ask for forgiveness and invite Him into your life. And if you already carry this Hope, do not keep it only for yourself—share it so others may also experience a life filled with fullness and purpose.View in YouVersionWe welcome you to our service from Heart Prague!When we look around, it’s easy to feel a mix of hope and sadness. Our world shows incredible beauty, but also brokenness, division, and pain. This raises an important question: Who are we really fighting? Who is behind all this?Many might blame political parties, religions, or people groups. But the Bible gives a different answer.Recently, we heard the story of the Good Samaritan — reminding us that our true neighbor might come from unexpected places. So if that’s true, who then is our real enemy?Ephesians 6:12 tells us clearly that our struggle is not against people, but against spiritual forces of evil. The real enemy is the devil, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).In Isaiah 36–37, we see his tactics: lies, fear, pride, and doubt. He uses everything—from news to our own thoughts—to shake our trust in God.But just like Jesus in the desert and King Hezekiah in Isaiah’s story, our response is to know God’s Word and trust Him completely.I encourage you to study Isaiah 36–37 this week and let the Word of God strengthen your faith and help you recognize the true battle we face.Zobrazit v YouVersionWelcome to Heart Prague Church!
