A special edition of Daily Devotional Preaching: this is an extract from "Pint of #Praise", full episodes available on the Virtual Vicar Facebook Page and Youtube Channel. #Positivethinking is not enough: we need hope in order to never give up. Visualisation is a technique used in sport. Compare the mens 1972 Olympic 800m final with Jesus' resurrection and you will see what I mean - and watch this video. Bible verse quoted:Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in #heaven for you.(1 Peter 1:3, the #Bible)
