As Christians, we often respond to the brokenness of life as if we do not actually have hope—as if the promises of God are not really certain. But in this lecture at RTS Atlanta, part of the Edmiston Center‘s Grimké Lecture Series, Dr. Irwyn Ince assures us that not only do we have hope, but that hope cannot disappoint us because it is validated by God himself. “Hope Ain’t a Hustle” is a clear and accessible exploration of the epistle to the Hebrews, urging us to place our confidence in the finished work of our great high priest, Jesus Christ, and showing how that confidence changes the way we live in the here and now.
