Who Can Be Against Us?

Romans 8:31-39

June 28, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

Building on the theological foundation that secures the reality that we know that God is working all things for our good, this passage goes on to raise the questions that plague every one of us. What about opposition we face? What about our unmet needs? What about accusations? What about condemnation? What about the dangers and suffering all around us that threaten us? Can any of this threaten to separate us from God’s love? Can anything take His love away from us?

All Things For Our Good

June 21, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This Sunday we continue our series with Romans 8:28-30. In the context of suffering, Paul makes the strong statement that God works all things for our good. How can that be? And what does that mean? This is an often quoted and misapplied verse. The context is key for us to understand it. The assurance we have that it can be true that all things work together for our good lies in what many have called the golden chain of our salvation. This passage is timely and hope-filled.

Suffering and Glory

June 14, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

Suffering is one of the only universal human experiences, and it messes us up. Even more than suffering personally, it's hard to know how to make sense of the world around us. God's Word doesn't ignore the reality of suffering. It makes sense of the world and helps us to see that all of creation is groaning, but redemption is coming.

Children and Heirs

June 7, 2020 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This week we continue through Romans 8 with verses 12-17. In this timely passage, we see the highest privilege of the gospel – that in Christ we are adopted through the Spirit to be children of God, all calling out to one Father together. We will spend time working out how this powerful theological foundation impacts our lives practically as we approach others as brothers and sisters in Christ.
