Hope that Gathers – PM Edition

February 19, 2026 Annemarie Hoek Evening

Annemarie continued our new series Living with Kingdom Hope , looking at Hope that Gathers. When exile isolates us, hope gathers God’s people together in faith. In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stand united against the pressure to bow to Babylon’s idols. Their courage is strengthened by community, and God’s presence meets them in the fire. Hope flourishes when we gather as God’s people, refusing to bow to false gods and standing together in trust. Lent reminds us that we are not alone, we journey together toward the cross and resurrection.
