In a fallen world, the question is not whether or not we will face heartbreak and suffering. Though life is also full of joy and beauty, the hard stuff in life is inevitable. Even now in our community many are facing profound heartbreak and suffering.

Again, the question is not whether we will face the storm of heartbreak and suffering; the question is how we can navigate it. We’ve seen so far from Romans 8 that the invitation to life with Jesus in the Holy Spirit is an invitation to a secure, unshakable identity free of condemnation, set on the hope of eternal life, and beloved by God as His children. Join us as we see from our text in Romans 8:18-25 that this identity is not merely a nice piece of sentiment, but a new and profound way of facing the hard stuff of life.
