Our world seems like a leaky tire, except instead of leaking air we are leaking hope. We try to ignore the leak of hope with distractions, but still we feel the loss. We try to replace hope with lesser substitutes, but they fail us under difficult circumstances. We need a real and lasting hope. In this sermon we look at "The Hope of Easter". The hope accomplished and assured through the cross and the resurrection by our Lord, Jesus Christ, is the only answer to our greatest need.
