Power of Hope to Change the World

"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope."
- Martin Luther

This episode of World Impact, titled “The Power of Hope to Change the World,” revisits the Apostle Paul’s ministry in Thessaloniki, where the message of Christ’s hope first began to “turn the world upside down.” Dr. Billy Wilson traces how that same Spirit of hope continues to renew lives and cultures today, drawing connections between Scripture, history, and the modern understanding of hope as a force that strengthens and heals. Through passages such as 1 Thessalonians 1:3 and 1 John 3:2–3, he shows how true hope comforts, purifies, and empowers believers to persevere in faith and holiness. The episode closes with a vision of Spirit-empowered Christianity spreading across the globe—an invitation for every believer to receive Christ’s hope and carry it into the world as a transforming light.
