The Grove Church

This week in our Hope series, we looked at how to actually live out hope in our everyday lives—when it’s easy to believe, and when it’s not. Mark challenges us to move beyond knowing what hope is and start practicing it in real ways: by leaning in, holding on, and surrounding ourselves with people who help keep that hope alive.

Drawing from Hebrews 10, Mark reminds us that we already have full access to God through Jesus—so we can approach each day with boldness and confidence. Whether it’s the unpredictability of life, deep disappointment, or just the grind of daily challenges, we’re invited to hold tight to hope, even when it feels like it’s slipping through our fingers.

This episode is a timely reminder that hope is more than a feeling—it’s a choice, a community effort, and a gift we’re called to live out together.

Questions for Discussion:

1.  What hesitancies do you have about "leaning into" Jesus?

2.  What level of confidence do you have that access to Him is available to you and that good things are found there?

3.  Why do you believe HOPE is a "slippery little booger"?

4.  What confidence do you have in the faithfulness of God to his promises?

5.  Why would it be difficult to practice HOPE alone?
