Climbing Everest: Suffering and Glory: Finding Hope in the In-Between | Romans 8:18-27
Description
We explore Romans 8:18-27 and discover what it means to live in the "in-betweenness of time" - after Christ's victory on the cross but before His return to make all things new.
• Like decisive battles that determine wars before they officially end, Christ has already won the victory over sin and death
• Creation itself groans and waits eagerly for Christ's return and restoration
• When sin entered the world, all creation fell under the curse - not just humanity
• As believers, we have the "first fruits of the Spirit" as a down payment of what's to come
• The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with "groanings too deep for words" when we don't know how to pray
• Just as CS Lewis wrote about the day when "the summer will come true," we await the day when Christ returns
• The sufferings of this present time cannot compare to the glory that will be revealed to us
Join us at First Baptist El Dorado as we continue our journey through Romans.
