The Gospel of God: Between Groaning and Glory

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 8:18-30 “We shake with joy, we shake with grief. What a time they have, these two housed as they are in the same body.” Mary Oliver “Wisdom teaches us that tears, at their best, pay tribute to something lost that was once cherished, and it was wise to cherish it. We lament the loss of a genuine good.” Zack Eswine “The absence of hope is a hellish state of utter despair. In contrast, Christian faith offers hope as a present reality, a foretaste of heaven directing us toward an eternal relationship with Christ. This hope is not a passive waiting at a departure gate but an active journey, empowered by faith in God’s promises, providence, and power. It’s a hope we can hold fast because God has promised to finish what he started in us.” David CassidyThe post The Gospel of God: Between Groaning and Glory first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
