In this sermon, Stephen Davey contrasts the world’s fragile wishes with the believer’s confident, biblical hope rooted in the promises of God. Drawing from 1 Peter 3:15 and Romans 15, he explains that Christians are called to live in such hopeful assurance that others ask for the reason behind it. Using the life of Johann Sebastian Bach, Davey shows how faithful stewardship of God-given gifts—offered with “Jesus help me” and concluded with “To God alone be glory”—can influence generations far beyond one’s lifetime. Though Bach’s work was largely forgotten at his death, God later used his music to spread gospel hope even in spiritually resistant nations like Japan. Davey concludes that true hope is not a wish upon a star but confident expectation in a faithful Savior, and believers must be ready to share it with a world asking, “Is there any hope?”
