Romans 8:18-22 | LIFE IN THE SPIRIT | 10/31/2021

Lesson begins around 30:00.

Have you ever wondered, "Why is there so much suffering in the world?" or, "Why me?" Hunky dory the Christian's walk is not. Today's teaching discusses Christian suffering.

Christian suffering is not suffering because we are sick or because our car has been stolen, much less the suffering from consequences for crimes we commit.

Christian suffering is suffering for taking a stand for Christ.

Yet the magnitude of this suffering can't compare to the magnitude of the glory that awaits us in Heaven as we worship the Lord for eternity.

God uses ALL suffering in our lives, yes, even non-Christian suffering. It brings people to Jesus. It brings people to the family of God. It makes ministry to happen within and without the Body of Christ.

The path for Christian suffering:
1.“The Suffering and Glory of God’s Creation.” (:18-22)
2. "The Christians Groaning for Glory" (:23-25)
3. "The Holy Spirit Groaning for Glory" (:26-27)
