Pastor/Dr. David Murphy shows us the responses that Christians should have toward circumstances in life, the first being "Rejoicing in Hope". We'll first see that "rejoicing in hope" does not mean having a cheerful disposition, having a hopeful outlook, or hoping in global transformation (Kingdom Teaching). "Rejoicing in hope" means rejoicing in THE Hope, and we must understand God's view of this world, what God is doing in this world, and that there's hope for the believer out of this world.
