This Word-of-the-Week Devotion from Pastor Jenny Arneson reflects on Romans 15:13, which calls God the “God of hope,” who fills us with joy and peace so that we may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. As Advent begins, Pastor Jenny reminds us that hope is not passive or wishful thinking but an active trust in God’s steadfast love—an invitation to hold onto divine hope through prayer, generosity, and simple acts of faith each day.
