Sermon | "Everything Happens . . ."
Scripture | Romans 8:28-30
Sermon Series | Paul's Hopeful Struggle
Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before.
Does everything really happen for a reason?
Romans 8:28 is one of the most quoted and often misunderstood passages in Scripture. Too often, it's been used to explain suffering in ways that bring more pain than hope.
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore invites us to hear Paul's words with fresh ears. God is not the cause of every hardship we endure. Rather, in the midst of life's joys and tragedies alike, God is always at work, bringing healing, hope, and the possibility of good.
