LIVING HOPE (Speakers: Pastor Chris Reynozo & Aaron Gomez)

Recorded Live: August 24, 2025

In this message, Living Hope Pastor Chris Reynozo and Aaron Gomez delve into how God sustains us in hopeless seasons and restores our lives through His power.

Part 1 – Pastor Chris Reynozo
Examining Elijah in 1 Kings 19, Pastor Chris illustrates how even great men of faith can succumb to despair. Elijah runs for his life, overwhelmed and hopeless, yet God meets him in the wilderness with food and strength to endure. The message is clear: God doesn’t always remove our struggles, but He always provides what we need to persevere. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that hope is an anchor—a rope that ties us to God’s promises and pulls us forward into His future.

Part 2 – Aaron Gomez
Aaron walks us through John 5 and the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda. For 38 years, this man waited for healing, yet one encounter with Jesus changed everything. Jesus asks, “Do you want to be made well?” and with just a word, He restores the man’s life. This story reminds us that living hope is not found in traditions, systems, or waiting for the “right moment”—it’s found in Jesus, who meets us in our brokenness and calls us to rise.

Together, these messages remind us that hope is not the absence of struggle, but the presence of God in the midst of it. With Him, our hopeless situations can become testimonies of strength, healing, and purpose.
